A layered nose that opens with a flutter of whole bunch lift that seamlessly merges into a pool of vibrant raspberry and black cherry fruits. The layered complexity is completed as notes of spice, leather and black pepper occupy the savoury register.
A voluminous palate coursing with flavour is elegantly restrained by the raft of fine tannin that ferries the red cherried fruits along a fresh stream of cooling acidity. Has great drinkability now and will cellar to 2030-2033.
Dried rose perfume in with some fresh mint, deep raspberry flavour, a little almond and vanilla, plus some spice. It’s ripe, but not overly so, with cool acidity, a dusting of graphite tannin, and a long biscuity finish. It’s generous in style, but keeps itself trim. I’m particularly tickled by the quality of tannin here. Excellent.

Deepish red colour with a good purple tint and a spicy, charred-oak note on the aroma, suggesting a substantial oak input. The wine is medium to full-bodied and well-concentrated, with an excellent tannin backbone that would enable it to partner hearty foods. A gutsy, structured wine. I'd like to drink this with a rich beef casserole. 09 APR 2020
