Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, dark red colour and a spicy cherry nose. Its dry lasting impression is cohesive by a smooth, soft texture, and a fulfilling drop that hangs on the palate. The flavours of strawberry, oak, and allspice are expertly integrated, creating a evolved and alluring profile.

Inviting start, with a crisp opening that sets the tone for the rest of the experience. The acidity is well-balanced, and the tannins are neither overpowering nor unbalanced. The oak aging adds a delicate nuance, but the generally memory is one of symmetry and restraint. The follow through is satisfying, with a soft conclusion that leaves the palate feeling refreshed. Overall, a solid bottle that is well worth the investment.
