The medium+ intensity nose delivers attractive red cherry, red berry, rose floral, earthy, beet root, and mushroom aromas. On the dry, crunchy, medium+ bodied palate it has lovely black cherry, black raspberry, earthy mushroom, and beet root flavours. It has good density with fresh acidity and fine tannins. Savoury on the long finish with earthy, mushroom, and beet root notes. Tasted Apr. 2026. Score: 91+ pts
