Beautifully fragrant and highly aromatic nose of sweet spices, raspberry, and strawberry notes with a sheen of vanilla. It's medium to medium-full bodied with very good weight and structure on the palate. Lovely sweet spices, raspberry, and strawberry replays, plus touches of cedary oak and cherry adding further interest. Tannins are lightly grippy and supported by fresh acidity. Excellent finish length. Still a bit young and a beauty! Tasted Apr. 2023. Score: 93+ pts
