06.01.2022 "...the freshness of the berries and late-summer blackberries binds itself into a richness of prunes and fig syrup and chocolate, while the sweet-sour, cream-curdling acidity of plum skins resonates like a taut guitar string and the tannin is as grippy yet affectionate as the lick of a cat’s tongue. Oz Clarke on the JOSEPH Moda, Red & White An Unquenchable Thirst For Wine. Cheers Oz!
