Bottle age has worked its magic here. Wild cherry and strawberry compote show beautiful depth, while hints of forest floor and dried herbs add savory complexity. The palate flows with elegant grace. Soft, refined tannins and bright acidity that lifts the fruit. A lovely mature expression that's drinking perfectly now.
