James Suckling
This has deeply perfumed aromas of dark cherries, dried rose petals, cocoa beans and pencil as well as Asian spices and citrus peel. Seamlessly integrated tannins and bright acidity cut through a creamy, textural, medium-bodied palate, showing flavors of wild strawberries, ruby grapefruit, damson plums and cinnamon bark. Very poised and tightly wound with a high level of refinement.
