AR | Youthful ruby in colour, this could only be sangio when you smell it, the emphasis on freshness and fragrance and both fruity and savoury notes; and the fruit when you taste it is very nicely done, medium to full-bodied showing character and a sinewy structure combining nicely textured sour cherry with beautifully crafted supple tannins and real freshness, balanced in a well-proportioned wine that's not trying too hard but convincing through its quality fruit and authentic style.

MP | Complex, delicate and floral with notes of rose hip, mineral oil, biscuit, vanilla, cedar, incense, blackberry, blackcurrant, prune and plum. This complexity moves across to the palate with layers of ripe red and black fruit supported by both oak and the first inklings of tertiary character. Tannins are ripe yet assertive with a pleasantly dusty authority that supports the baking spice, black fruit, floral and earthy aromas. Both acidity and alcohol are in balance and add a backing note to this thoroughly enjoyable wine. Drink Dates: 2029 - 2036. 96
