Description

It’s beautifully fragrant and enticing on the nose with sweet cherry, toasted spice, game, floral and cedar characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and roundness, wonderfully supported by rich texture and silky tannins, making it flavoursome and elegant at the same time.

95/100 - 5 stars
