The 2024 Chocolate Block opens with an inviting bouquet of dark berries, ripe plums, and subtle hints of cocoa and spice. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, yet impeccably balanced, with silky tannins and a refined structure. Notes of blackcurrant, mocha, and gentle oak nuances unfold towards a long, elegant finish.
