Tasting Notes
Rubied with a violet core. Vividly fragrant; black and red cherries, plum compôte, printer’s ink, wild raspberry leaf, forest. Evolving into deeper layers of crushed dark gravel, a brooding flintiness overlaid with cinnamon-smoke. Molten cherries come to the fore of the palate, cresting on a wave of airy, pillowy tannins; then blackberries, plums, and tangy redcurrants. The tannins stretch through fine yet mouthcoating, acting as ballast for the sumptuous intensity of fruit. The concentration of the vintage is on display here, imbued by longer than usual hang times from the cooler growing season. The wine rises in sapidity towards the finish, going savoury with crushed coriander spice in the echo.
