Tasting Notes

This offers a glorious bouquet of heady black fruit, crème de mûre, scorched earth and graphite. Although the palate is dense and packed with black cherry, stony minerals, hedgerow fruit and liquorice, it is so fresh and bright. The tannins are beautifully managed; they stain the palate with savoury infused cassis and notes of kirsch.
