Ratings
Perfumed in that elegant way - red and black fruits mingling in the nose, dried flowers, spices, touch of cinnamon with liquorice. The oak's so well integrated you barely notice it's there. Yes, it's tight and locked up on the palate - baby wine syndrome - but fuck me, it's juicy and delicious underneath all that tension. Beautiful fruit that makes you reach for another glass. This is Baga showing class and complexity despite its youth.
Highly perfumed and immediately charming - raspberry, blackberry, candied flowers, and soft spice swirl together with a surprising touch of cinnamon and liquorice. On the palate, it's juicy and vibrant, bursting with fresh fruit, though the tannins still feel a bit green and eager. But that youthful energy works in its favour - it's fresh, delicious, and calls to mind a Cinsault from Sadie Family. A joyful, expressive take on Baga.
