Gorgeously perfumed bouquet shows Black Doris plum, sweet raspberry, violet. The palate is concentrated, focused and delightfully flowing with outstanding depth & intensity, while remaining elegant & poised, leading to an extremely long expansive finish.
Harmonious, seamless & flawlessly precise. Combining exquisite refinement & undeniable power, this is another stunning Beauty under this iconic label.

Deep, bright, youthful purple/red colour, with a pronounced spicy, peppery aroma, the palate sweet rich and deep in very elegant, classy fruit flavour. The tannins are ample and refined, balanced and the wine is overall delicious. Black pepper, subtle cloves and other spices. A glorious wine. It has a core of fruit sweetness that is utterly delicious.

A great bouquet, fine nose of Syrah with white and black peppercorn, roses and lavender, a core of red currants, black cherry and Doris plum, some sweet olive and new leather. Firm, youthful and dry with an abundance of tannins and acidity. As the wine relaxes (a little) the future looks set - cellar still please, this wine needs time (2024/2026) then try again. Mostly about energy and intensity, salivating structure, great finish, long, complex.
