The rich, complex, medium-high intensity nose has perfumed & spicy aromas layered over dark berry, cherry, blackberry & forest floor w/ hints of plum, dried herb, dried cherry & floral adding complexity. It's medium-full bodied & slightly chewy on the palate with elegant, gently grippy tannins & juicy, well-balanced acidity. Lovely dark red cherry, clove, forest floor & cedary wood spice flavours, plus some tangy notes on mid-palate. Nicely balanced throughout w/ savoury forest floor & cocoa notes, plus a touch of mineral lingering on the long, succulent finish. Tasted July 2023. Score: 90+ pts
