AR | Youthfully bright in colour, this is fresh and bright in its cherryish aromas and while you're hoping for the same on tasting, there is some initial raspberryish sweetness but it doesn't linger long enough for the fruit element to be overtaken by some slightly bitter notes from the extraction and although approachable rather than tough or tannic, it's just a tad hollow on the mid-palate.

MP | This delightful wine shows a range of primary and secondary characteristics encompassing black cherry, red cherry, cooked plum, liquorice, tar, sandalwood, and baking spice. The finish is long and plush with ripe black cherry, plum and blackberry fruit supported by fine acidity and lingering tannins. It lacks the finesse and complexity necessary to move it into the next league. Drink Dates: 2026 - 2031. 92
