Some wines, if you’re lucky, crackle with savouriness and spice – in the context of ripe fruit. Drinking them is like sitting down to a table that been laid out with food. This well-priced release is one such wine; it’s red berried, medium in weight, lightened by floral, roasted nut and spice notes and, although it carries earthen notes, feels polished and well made. We’re onto something here. Price, quality and style are all in alignment. 92 points.
