Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a touch of edge brightening. Dark forest berries are underlaid on the nose by some precious wood spice, notes of cassis and candied violets, with a delicate vanilla and nougat note and a hint of nutmeg. Liquorice and chocolate provide plenty of substance on the palate, which has a salty minerality and good freshness to go with ripe, supporting tannins. The taut minerality and delicate fruit give length and hint at certain ageing potential for many years. Already dangerously seductive today. (PM 10/2024).
