"17 Sep, 2021 – A very elegant, intense and detailed edition, which is right on a par with recent releases. Fresh aromas of raspberries and plenty of florals, spices and brambly appeal. Sappy. There’s a sense of elegance and precision to the tannin and a finer weave. Bright berry finish. Drink now. Screw cap."
