Medium ruby . Touch of blackberry and ripe dark fruits , then black pepper , spice and granite . Quite deep and richer fruit , blackberry , dark cherry , touch of bacon fat , fills out nicely on the palate. Raspy tannins , good acidity . Pretty good length. Balanced alcohol . Again needs more time , better in 5 years , will drink well for a further 5-10 — 3 years ago
Interesting to observe how the style of this flagship cuvée has shifted over the years, dialing back the oak, picking earlier, focusing on purity and sense of place.
Dark & slightly brooding on the nose with plum & hint of black cure leaf, freshly turned earth. A tiny pinch of spices, the wood not evident at all. Fresh & pure.
On the palate this is so juicy, medium tannin with just a tiny bite, filled with fresh damson plums and a hint of black currant. Juicy acidity, and nice length with an earthy finish. 14% alc, as in prev vintages, but this time unnoticeable. Nice depth and purity here.
This is a lovely wine, with juicy fruit and a savoury edge. Brilliant food companion.
Delish!
