"Youthfully purple and bright in the glass. The aromas are dark, layered and complex: dried herbs, dark fruits, spice and anise. The palate is all dark cherry and raspberry, there's a cranberry like acidity crunch as well as some briary fruit and a woodsy element, the charry oak supports the fruit nicely. The flavours are bright and vibrant and the tannins are firm and generous and shape the wine."  Aaron Brasher, September 2021
