'Racy wine with aromas of ripe black fruit, blueberries and black currents, spicy with menthol notes. The feel is full and well structured with cocoa flavours and persistent liquorice accents'. (Oenology Cente- Saint Savin)
'Deep, dark and opaque in the glass. Minty, meaty, dark-fruit aromas, there's also a lift of wet earth and spice. Richly-flavoured, full of mulberry, plum and a brambly fruit quality. The tannins are chalky and textured and the acidity has a crunch and freshness to it. Tightly restrained, youthful and in need of some time tucked away 2023–2031'
