Cinnamon, baking spices to the dried strawberries, redcurrants and thyme. Mediterranean herbs. Juicy and firm on the medium-bodied palate with some chewy tannins that prop up the structure for the elegant red berry fruit in the middle.
Savory olive notes here alongside dark berry fruit, walnuts and licorice. Juicy and fresh with a nicely firm tannin frame, medium body and a more mineral finish. Try in 2024.
Great varietal typicity and spices are appreciated. It is a wine with an expressive center of mouth, great balance and complexity from the ageing. It is deep and elegant, so it persists in the mouth, it has a long finish.

Smoky raspberries & blueberries with dried licorice, tar & some sweet spices and praline. A medium-bodied red, but quite compact & tight, filled with silky, frosted tannins that knit with the fruit. A nimble malbec with berry fruit at the end.

A medium-bodied, savory red that has aromas of cherry stones, mushrooms and dried flowers on the nose. The tannins are powdery and creamy. Very drinkable. Drink now.
