Deep, rich, red colour with tinges of purple and brick-red. The bouquet is black-fruited and quite minty, the palate likewise intense and bright, bold and upright, with a bit of firmness which seems linked to the peppermint note. The aftertaste is gently chewy. It would work best with hearty braised-meat dishes.

94 Points James Halliday
The wine spent 24 months in a mix of new and 1-year-old oak, predominantly French, and a small portion of American, continuing the pattern of recent vintages. The hue reflects the exceptional vintage, the bouquet and palate with a powerful, concentrated and ripe mix of cassis and redcurrant fruits; the oak and tannin management neatly wraps up a juicy mouthfeel of flavours. Drink to 2025.
