Medium depth crimson with purple hues. Intense and lifted perfume of blue fruits, violets and chocolate, entwine with hints of sage, cedar, and white peppery spice. Juicy raspberries and Satsuma plum fills the mouth, with lovely oak sweetness adding to the mouthfeel. The fruit is wonderfully balanced with briary and white pepper spice and textured, fine tannin. Cellaring potential: now to 2030.
Vines planted 1860, 10 rows relocated after 150 years; basket-pressed, open-fermented, matured for 2 years in French oak. Unsurprisingly rich and layered blackberry/blackcurrant fruit with notes of earth and licorice, yet all this comes in a measured way. Excellent oak and tannin balance.
Deep red/purple colour. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate and cranberry, some leather and tar notes; concentrated and dense, fleshy and smooth-textured, velvety and sumptuous. Full-bodied, deep and plush, with no excesses albeit it's an unabashedly full-bodied red. 27 FEB 2020 Drink 2020–2032
