Lovely, slowly emerging & complex aromas of Indian spices, red and black cherry, underbrush, forest floor, olive, pot pourri & sandalwood rise out of the glass. It's medium-full to full-bodied with very good depth & delicious flavours of red and black cherry, spices, cedar wood, underbrush, and forest floor in a dry, lightly tangy profile. It has very good, juicy acidity, while the well-structured, dusty textured tannins are lightly chalky & grippy on the back palate. Cedary, sandalwood, and earthy notes linger on the long savoury finish, with excellent length. Tasted June 2023. Score: 92+ pts
