Intense black-cherry color with good depth of colour and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-ageing, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone andlovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality.
"Vanilla, incense and pine cones on top of the dark cherries and plums on the nose. Youthful and pretty flavorful on the medium- to full-bodied palate with plenty of oak tannins that will need a few years to unwind and soften. Hint of tobacco savoriness loom in the lengthy, spicy finish. Drink from 2025 or decant if you want to enjoy now." James Suckling, 92 Points
