Spell-binding aromas of pencil shavings, flint, dried riverbed, cassis and a lift of mint. This seems so Old World in nature, extolling cedar, dusty bookshop and spice. Black fruits peel away on the palate: cherries, plums and blackcurrants, all neatly cosseted in wood spice and granular tannins from 24 months in oak, 50% new, the rest second fill. The tautness of the fruit core and refreshing line of acidity makes the palate seem bone dry, though it isn’t quite, the flavours lingering through refreshing finish of lavender and wild rosemary.
