James Suckling
"I love the combination of bright black fruits, blackberries and cranberries, with lightly smoky oak and passion fruit acidity. The result is a medium- to full-bodied wine with slightly rough tannins and exquisite freshness from start to finish. Organically grown grapes. Delicious. Drink now or cellar. (James Suckling 2021) A cuvée synonymous with pleasure!
