The wine is a deep red colour with violet hues. On the nose, fresh red fruit stands out with a marked floral presence, perfectly harmonised with the contribution of aromas of spices, cocoa and vanilla from its time in oak, giving it complexity. The sensation in the mouth is smooth with sweet and velvety tannins and a broad mouthfeel with a long finish.

Smooth, powerful, and ultimately massively satisfying. This wine is a consistent high scorer in independent tastings and competitions, and a consistent favourite in the JN store.

Magnificent alongside grilled steak with a pepper sauce, spiced beef, and Mexican dishes.

"Elegant and refined, showing pepper bush, mountain herb and river stone aromas amid fresh cherry and berry core, which shows minerally richness and lengthens nicely around the core flavours and fine tannins."

Wine Spectator's Top 100 wines of 2023 (December 2023)

"Fresh plums and cherries to the nose with a spicy edge. Generous and juicy on the palate with bright acidity and tight, fine-grained tannins. Nice, lengthy finish with pure fruit and subtle oak spices. Lots of vibrancy here. Drink now or hold."

"It has a balanced and juicy profile that is approachable and clean, with violet and berry flavours and a soft palate with fine, chalky tannins."
