## Tasting notes

Brilliant intense colour turning slightly amber, exuberant fruit and spice, big structure, full and velvety, with a long finish of tar and spice. 2022 vintage sheet: savoury red fruit with sour cherries, blood oranges, dark liquorice, peach stones and chopped herbs; medium-full, structured, tight but refined tannins, silky smooth mid-palate, long and even.
