Sweet aromatic blackcurrant tones on the nose, concentrated and ripe. Lots of liquorice and blueberry on the palate, dark and cool, fresh but deep, too. This is a little sombre right now but I like the elements on show with the lashings of slate, coffee and cola - nuanced and persistent. Well worked if a little atypical for the vintage with the more savoury sides on show presently as opposed to bright fruits and acidity. 3.67pH. Lost around 50% of the crop. A yield of 18.55hl/ha - usually 35-40hl/ha. Tasted twice.
