This earthy wine opens with rather funky aromas of tilled soil, leather and a whiff of barnyard. The hearty palate offers ripe black cherry, game and savory herb alongside chewy tannins. It's a bit rustic but has charm. Drink 2018–2025.

Tight fruit aromas of cassis, cranberry and wild berry give this wine a bright and crisp first impression. The acidity is sharp, lively and definitely cuts straight across the palate. There's medium body here to hold up all that freshness.
