Deep carmine-red in colour. With high aromatic intensity, the aromas are of ripe fruit, such as black plum, fig syrup, cherry, and blackberry. There's a complex presence of toasted oak, with notes of chocolate, tobacco, and leather, well combined with the fruit aromas. Carmenère character really comes through. The palate is rounded and balanced, with notes of black pepper, toast, and dairy, good body and elegance, and a long finish. (Zekun Shuai,jamessuckling.com,Feb. 12, 2024) Deep carmine-red in colour.
