CRITIC REVIEWS
Richard Hemming MW
Tense, tight nose. Black chocolate, dark fruit, finely ground tannin. A little shy? Not firing on all cylinders. Beautiful furry texture though, and enough intensity to unfurl its petals further in future. (RH)

I like the intensity to this, with dark tar and smoky notes followed by graphite, tobacco, bitter cacao and dark fruit. Powerful yet tight and compact, with firm and polished tannins. Structured and so long. Tasted from magnum. Try after 2023.
