Gorgeous scent on the nose, blueberry, perfume and violets. A cool freshness to this straight away, linear and focused with a lovey, integration of acidity, blue fruits and minerality. Tannins are present, not grainy or ripe, walking the middle line giving weight and texture. Stylish and well structured, not a huge wine, but really good energy, dynamic and driven from start to finish. Approachable and accessible with a clear juiciness that is joyful. A slight dip in the mid-palate, loses a touch of weight and propulsion but lovely wide finish anyway with mint and freshness. A good effort and nice to drink soon. Firm, clear, well made.

Toasted spices, crushed walnuts, and tar with ripe dark fruits. Medium-bodied, firm and chewy with hints of bitter spices to close. Flavorful finish. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot.
