New leather, truffle and camphor aromas mingle with a whiff of wild berries on this earthy red. The ripe, accessible palate doles out fleshy black cherry, crushed raspberry, culinary spice and game alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2022-2027. Score - 93. (Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2021)
Intensely fragrant with lovely, complex aromas of new leather, earth, red cherry-berry, fine wood spices, juniper berry, and cedar, with touches of rose floral, orange, and barnyard. On the medium-full to full-bodied, structured, slightly creamy palate it is quite approachable right now with red cherry, wild berry, forest floor, wet earth, and savoury wood spice flavours with a touch of orange. Acids are juicy & well-balanced. The structured tannins have some chalky grip, but are accessible now. Forest floor, cherry & wild berry notes linger on the very long, savoury finish. Tasted Jan. 2023.
