An elegant red, fresh and focused, integrating sculpted tannins with layers of ripe black cherry and black plum. Offers richer notes of fig cake and licorice, plus a subtle, fragrant thread of sandalwood, bay leaf, white pepper and graphite. A fluid version, with lovely balance and a long, long finish. Drink now through 2035. 435 cases made, 25 cases imported.

A very good wine with aromas of black pepper, ripe but fresh blackberries, mussel shells, graphite, roasted spices and cigar box. Pretty full-bodied on the palate, with tight, round, fine-grained tannins. Long and structured. Drink from 2026.
