Description
James Suckling
Very complex nose of bay leaves, dried prunes and blackberry jam, enhanced with leather and a bit of restrained chocolate. Velvety tannins flow on the palate, with a full body, zesty and cleansing acidity and a savory finish of toasted black pepper and chocolate. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.
93, Wine Spectator
A suave red, with its lush texture carrying finely knit flavors of plumped cherry and baked raspberry. Offers accents of loamy earth, singed orange peel, medicinal herbs and rose hip. Long and fluid, with good tension through the well-spiced, lasting finish. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Drink now through 2039. 12,500 cases made, 2,450 cases imported.
91, Decanter
Potpourri and fresh herbs on the nose. Palate shows alcohol-soaked Morello cherry, leafy, tobacco, dark chocolate, and coffee. Dense and lush with evolving spice and a hint of woodsmoke. Good typicity.
Drinking Window: 2024 – 2030
