A very deep and brilliant purple to ruby colour. Beautiful aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry with a hint of whortleberry. On the palate this wine shows a lot in different stages and always with a lot of roundness. Very complex with its flavours of dark fruit combined with lovely hints of vanilla, chocolate, toffee and coffee. The tannins are extraordinary silky and the wine has a long and savoury aftertaste. Perfect to drink now this wine can be kept three to five more years.

92 James Suckling, "A juicy red with berry, rust, wet-earth and stone aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins and a flavourful finish. Lots of character. Drink after 2022."
