Pristine and beautifully lifted, the inviting bouquet shows black/blueberry, violet, olive and roasted nut aromas with a hint of dark cocoa. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, splendidly framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and silky. At its best: now to 2030. Score - 93.

Beautifully fruited and inviting, the wine shows blackberry, thyme, hazelnut and warm spice aromas on the nose, followed by a fruit-expressive palate displaying succulent fruit intensity, backed by silky texture and fine tannins, finishing lingering and supple. At its best: now to 2032. Score - 92. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, July 2024)
