Vibrant, aromatic and powerful. The nose is bursting with black berry, beetroot and alpine herbs. The palate is earthy and medium weight, with coarse tannin and spicy acidity. This wine is elegant, yet brutish, showing great balance and character. The tannins and acidity need time to soften. Sit back and be patient.
Basket pressed, racked to new and used French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Last year I used the word substantial and it was the first word to spring to mind here. This really does put a roar into the glass. Iodine, blackcurrant, graphite and peppercorn characters are delivered bold and supple. There’s a lake of fruit, a bank of tannin and an even flow between the two. It’s quality.
