Fresh, floral nose full of cherries and laced with some geraniums and rose hips. Juicy and dusty tannins coated with plenty of red plums and cherries on the palate. Rich and supple, yet fresh. Drink or hold.

Ripe and juicy, this is a structured wine with some firm tannins. It has blackberry fruits along with the solid texture. The wine needs to age, so drink from 2024.
