James Suckling Review
Rated 94

Wild and peppery on the nose mingled with notes of plums, peach stones, spiced cherries, cloves and lemongrass. Still young and somewhat restrained, but the length and tannin structure is there, tightly knit and fine-grained. Medium-bodied, focused and tight. Try in 2025.
