BUY THE WINE

Ella Lister: Rich, enticing purple fruit, as well as more developed, torrefied notes. Stand aside for his eminenza (I’m thinking Jude Law in The Young Pope). A wonderfully well-made and accomplished wine, with sour-cherry intrigue and succulence. The finish is long, with grippy yet integrated tannins, lighting up your mouth.
