Medium

Cork

Intense aromatics of very ripe, almost perfumed blackcurrants and plums. Mineral, wet stone, slate and pencil lead elements, as well as cool blue fruits. Linear, not so expansive but delivered with poise and control. Nuanced and detailed with some hints of cinnamon and warming spice on the finish. The tannins are seriously firm and spiced - grip comes from a grape skin-like texture and austerity from the acidity. Buy and wait three to five years. Aged in 400-litre barrels.
