Smells concentrated with ripe red fruits and dark chocolate - hefty and powerfully concentrated. Tannins make the first impression, really filling the mouth with quite a dark savoury liquorice, tar and tobacco, chocolate flavour while the acidity just about props up the jammy red fruit. This has a certain style, it's on the more brooding, bold spectrum and there is purity to the fruit, but it feels a bit pushed with some extraction and alcohol on show in the tightness of the overall texture. Confident and out to please but will need some time. Drinking window: 2026-2037. Score - 94.
