Herbal and slightly minty aromas, with a little meatiness. The palate has some fruit sweetness and a slight lack of line. A little chunky. Pleasant wine for mid-term cellaring.

Matured in new and second-use barriques for 18 months. Ticks every box: the colour very good, the bouquet an expressive mix of dark berry fruit and neatly folded oak, the medium to full-bodied palate with considerable flavour and texture complexity, the purple and black fruits graciously allowing ripe tannins and oak the curtain call. Drink to 2033.
