Midnight black in colour with a youthful looking bright purple red tinged hue. Fragrant violet, blackberry, liquorice and blueberry scents sail from the glass trailed by subtle smoky vanillin cedar, clove, earth and peppered meat notes. Deliciously fresh and juicy the elegant mid weighted palate features blueberry, plum and liquorice fruits which meld into a spicy vanillin cedar, subtle clove and peppered earth back drop. Lively acidity lends an energetic feel to the otherwise fleshy textured palate. Fine grained tannins with a long, fresh and savoury finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews…..
80% whole bunch, and in 2023, picked a month later than the 2022.
Dark cherry and blue fruits, plenty of spice, black olive and grilled meat. It’s medium-bodied, spicy and perfumed, meaty too, with a surprisingly intense burst of ‘minerally’ acidity through its core. Tannin is all crushed rock and sooty goodness, and the finish is long and savoury and stalky. Very good. Drink 2024-2031+
