Beautifully fruited and fragrant, the wine shows blackcurrant, clove, floral and toasted almond characters with an elegant herbal infusion. It’s succulent and supple in the mouth, delivering juicy fruit intensity with fine texture and grainy tannins, finishing splendidly harmonious and attractive. Classically styled and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2032.

Above-average temperatures have contributed to optimal flavour and tannin development across all red varieties. The quality of this year's harvest is excellent.
