Gary Walsh, The WineFront
Red cherry, raspberry, liquorice, a little smoke and sweet spices, some orange peel. It’s precise, red fruited, light grip and grain to the tannin, a little reticent as at now, but you can see the potential easily. It feels dense and tightly packed, and the quality of tannin is something extra. Finish is long, spicy, and full of XMAS spice and peel, and black tea. Quiet authority.
