Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby colour, purple reflections, and subtly brighter edge. Black-cherry fruit, blackberry, chalky minerality and candied orange zest. Taut, tightly woven, red berry notes, fine tannins and finesse-rich acidity. Pronounced in fruit finish and salty, extremely youthful and delicate, lingers for a long time. Fluid mineral finesse. (PM, drinking/ ageing + 30).
