3.5 Stars John Livingstone-Learmonth

Dark red; the bouquet has a juicy fullness of black berry fruits, a sweet undertow, is upfront, an open book. The palate bears a black fruit lozenges flavour with mild tannins along the sides, is padded in feel, straightens into a lightly grainy close, a little clarity of fruit there. It can draw together with more time, will drink agreeably. From mid-2025. 2037-39 May 2023
