Bright and deep ruby. A concentrated perfume of cassis, licorice and strawberry sorbet grows deeper with coastal scents of dried shells and crayfish bisque. Earthy notes of ironstone rock give way to dried rose petal and vanilla butter intrigue. A fresh and succulent entry with incredible length and firm driving, linear tannins. Fresh raspberry, wood spice, vanilla and peanut complexities linger on the finish. An intense, tight, lengthy and exciting wine.
Deep, brightly youthful purple/red colour. The bouquet is floral and highly aromatic, with generous herbs and pot-pourri, violets and blueberry, the palate intense and firmly structured, the tannins quite stern at this stage, the finish lingering on a long time. It should cellar very well, and offers outstanding quality for the price. (8% petit verdot, 2% malbec)02 MAR 2021 Drink 2022–2036
