A fragrant nose of blackberries, dark plums, melon, dried thyme, undergrowth, sandalwood, baking spices and lavender. Full-bodied with polished tannins. Ample, balanced and velvety with lovely purity of fruit. So much juicy and aromatic dark fruit. Long, spicy finish. JS
An opulent and big red here, but at the same time this is fresh and really well-balanced. Graphite, oyster shells, cocoa powder, dark olives and blackberries. Bold and concentrated on the palate with lots of dense, fine-grained tannins. Very ambitious but really balanced. Big, powerful and hedonistic. JS
