"Baked cherries, mingled with sweet spices and a touch of thyme, blend harmoniously with crushed rocks and stone elements. Well-structured with fine tannins and lifted acidity, this wine delivers in all aspects. A wine to add to your collection. Drink 2026–2045"

"A sleek, aromatic red, offering cherry, strawberry, rose hip, mineral and wild herb flavors. Balanced and lingers on the finish, where the fruit and herb elements echo. A high-wire act."
