“Pleasantly nutty red-berry character to the nose, together with a light caramel-like note. Medium to full body with a fairly lax palate at first. Then some firm tannin takes hold, yet the easy fruit pushes on. Not overly complex, but should even out into an nice drinker by 2023.” James Suckling 92/100 (Vintage 2018)
