$1,460
Full red. Complex, aromatic bouquet of dried cherry, blackcurrant, sandalwood, potpourri and pungent herbs. Sappy, concentrated red and dark berry flavours stain the palate, with notes of allspice, candied rose and cracked pepper contributing lift. Becomes sweeter and more velvety with air and finishes with impressive length. This is drinking extremely well now but has the depth to continue aging. 93/100 Josh Raynolds, Vinous.
