Deep, dark colour, full of brightness. Aromas of cassis, lead pencil, brambles, dried herbs and violets, a lovely complex nose. Very youthful, vibrant and focussed flavours of mulberry, dark cherry, a lick of leafy herbalness and then the grippy, savoury and granular tannins kick in to shape this quite tight, textured and rather delicious wine 29 MAR 2021

2018 Woodlands ‘Clémentine’ is very dark, very deep, and very powerful.The colour is galaxy-deep crimson. The nose impresses with primary characters of violet, allspice, clove, cinnamon, anise and black olive. Notes of cigar box and leather brood in the background.
The palate enters with a impressive array of dark fruits - particularly blackberry and black currant. This is indeed “some serious stuff” with intensity of fruit matched by rich ripe tannins. Dusted cacao and roasted almonds linger, reinforcing the dry finish.Match this wine with lamb shank on a bed of lentil stew. Or with mushroom soup with a well-buttered piece of toasted sourdough bread.
