Love the perfumed and sweet aromas with cinnamon, nutmeg and blackberries. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows depth, finesse and tension. Needs some time to show its true self. Better after 2023.

Deep, dark ruby with an opaque core, brightening at the rim. Closed dark berries, a little tarry, and blackberry. There's a fleshy density on the palate, and tannins with good-natured, stemmy undertones. It is restrained in acidity yet has enough juiciness behind the striking structure. A ripe, full Boyd with hefty alcohol, that is rich in ageing potential, and, this year, more on the side of density and power than elegance.
