"It’s totally seductive on the nose with stunning fruit purity and perfume, showing ripe cherry, floral, mushroom, thyme, and toasted almond notes, followed by a finely flowing palate that’s wonderfully rounded and plump. Tannins are fine and beautifully infused, making it superbly structured with a sustained, refined finish. At its best: 2026 to 2038."
