Reviews

James Suckling 93

A rich and spicy nose with notes of baked cherries, raisins, dried rose hips, dark chocolate and sandalwood. Full-bodied with a lot of depth and intensity, yet it's bright and racy with very fine, almost supple tannins and delicious fruit in the middle. Balanced and focused with good concentration and length. Drink or hold.
