Other Reviews....
It's surprising, yet pleasing, how approachable this is, so best enjoyed now rather than keeping it long term. It's awash with plump plums, licorice and woodsy spices, the oak playing its part yet integrated. It's not a big wine but it has complexity and layers of flavour. Drink by 2026.
