Winemaker Notes:
Scorched earth, baking spice, and red berry aromas emerge from the glass. The savory palate offers red cherry, clove, and tobacco alongside dusty tannins. Pair with baked beef shank, braised veal cut, baked lamb with potatoes.

Critical Acclaim

James Suckling, 92 points

A bright and rather fluid surface-feel to this now, but there’s a tight bead of spicy, pomegranate-like red fruit and firm tannin lurking underneath. Quite an astringent style here and it will need plenty of time, but there’s enough there to merit holding this until around 2025.
