Cork

A toasted, milk chocolate and charred nose - you can smell the concentration straight away. Cinnamon, olive, salty shells, black chocolate, wild flowers and blackcurrants. This is intensely tannic and extremely oaky and spiced with a savoury core. Mouthwatering acidity stops this from being too heavy but it certainly packs a punch. Ageing 24-36 months in new French barrels followed by a lengthy time in bottle until it's deemed ready to drink. Owner Henri Parent, of La Violette in Pomerol, winemakers Marcelo Pelleriti and José Mounier. From a 4.06-hectare, old-vine, high-altitude estate in the Uco Valley.
