Critique Review
“This has very attractive aromas of bright red fruit with a neat array of wild herbs and flowers, too. The palate has a succulent, juicy and fresh feel with stony tannins, delivering length and richness with impressive focus. Great wine. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Try from 2022"
