The medium-high intensity nose is elegant & ripe with a lovely mix of plummy, blackberry, earthy-stony mineral, spice & some herbal aromas. On the spicy, medium+ to medium-full bodied palate it has very fruit-acid-tannin tension that provides a well-structured mouthfeel. Dry with lovely mineral-driven, dark fruited, blackberry, spice, black cherry, plum & herbal flavours. Structured with tangy and juicy acidity, and medium-firm structured tannins that offer a pleasant, gently chalky grip. Minerally with blackberry, black cherry & spice notes linger on the long, smoky finish. Tasted Feb. 2024.
