What do the experts say?

James Suckling: "Wow. Real purity of fruit here with crushed black cherries and flowers. It’s full-bodied, very tight and focused with chewy tannins that are polished and gorgeous. A very youthful 2016, but ever so clear and transparent with crushed stones and dry earth. Some conifer."
