93 Pointsout of 100.
Kalamata olive, black cherries and Assam tea leaf. Dried Ancho chiles and sumac spice. Like a deep well, this wine will have you peering into its depth finding more detail as you adjust to its shades and tones. Perky acidity increases across the drinking experience with round edges of violet, cocoa nib and kidney bean. It’s a neighborly wine, always a pleasure to be around. There for you in need and without asserting its judgement upon you. This is my ideal party, red wine. A perfect wine for weddings or gatherings where you are trying to please various plates. It’s smooth, juicy and full of flavour. Sessionable and dare I say it quaffable. Serve with meatballs in tomato sugo and cheesy polenta. Drink now or will cellar for another 3-5 years.
