Tasting notes

Brilliant garnet red turning slightly amber, exuberant in fruit and spice, big structure, full and velvety, long finish of tar and spice. 2022 vintage sheet: lively and fresh with dried strawberries, dark cherries, cocoa and light spice; medium-full body, structured, tight, smooth tannins, ripe red fruit and a hint of chocolate on the finish.
