JAMES SUCKLING - 95 POINTS

Really fascinating aromas of crushed berries, incense and pine needles follow through to a full body with firm, layered tannins and a beautiful complement of fruit on the finish. A rather big wine at the end, but it comes across vivid and clear. Drink in 2023 and onward.
