Offering great value, the very youthful 2020 vintage (4.5*) was matured for 10 months in French and American oak barriques. Showing obvious potential for cellaring, it is deeply coloured, with a spicy fragrance. Full-bodied, it is fresh and supple, with strong, ripe blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, gently seasoned with oak, and savoury notes adding complexity. Best drinking 2023+.
