This wine showcases a dynamic range of red and black fruits, graphite, white pepper, and bay leaf, creating an intense profile. Tannins are relatively smooth. The finish is slightly bitter, with flavours of plum pie and black fruits.
Initial hesitation, expecting an overoaked performance, yet the wine lands pleasantly on the palate. A bouquet that's a dark fruit party with plum leading, spiced up by white pepper and bay leaf. Leaning towards full-bodied but keeps its poise, with tannins smoothing out the edges. The aftertaste trails off on a slightly bitter note, black fruits and plum pie chiming in. No standing ovation, but a solid, approachable wine. Meat platter from Lo turned the tasting into a hearty feast.
