Hints of oyster sauce to the blackberries, graphite, cocoa powder, sweet spices and mussels. A full-bodied red marked with a broad structure of fine-grained tannins. Tightly wound but also precise and refined with a long, juicy finish. Lots of power and intensity, but not heavy. Shows potential for aging. Better from 2025.
