"A pretty red with aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, strawberry and flowers. Full-bodied and very tight, with a creamy, brilliant mouthfeel that lengthens on the finish. Very fine, polished tannins. Give it two or three years to harmonize further. Will be better after 2022. ( James Suckling 2020)

About the wine:
A lovely red with aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, strawberry and flowers. Full-bodied and tightly wound, with a creamy, brilliant mouthfeel that lengthens on the finish. Very fine, polished tannins. Give it two or three years to harmonize further. Best after 2022.
