A lovely wine – so charming, fresh and compact, with great energy and freshness. The acidity really helps to balance the blackberry eau-de-vie fruit, which is potent but precise and powerful. A wine that has harmony and freshness, despite the high alcohol.
An alluring hint of singed hazelnut husk leads off, followed by dried cherry and red currant notes, plus a flurry of wood spice. Shows nice zip and length. A textbook version. Drink now
Mid-deep brick red to amber/tawny colour. Rich candied orange peel aromas. The palate is similarly rich and full: sweet, spicy marmalade flavours with a just dusting of peppery tannin towards the finish.
Quite deep brick red hue with a thin, tawny rim. Open, welcoming creamy nose with a hint of vanilla. Full, soft and fleshy, hazelnut complexity, – by no means as delicate as some but still well-balanced with a full, spicy finish. Soft and satisfying.
A somber, smoky bouquet of dark berries, dark cherries, licorice and violet. Medium-bodied, round and supple, it’s frame by structured tannins and a dense, juicy mid-palate, concluding with a delicate, ethereal finish.
