Notions of stone, graphite and peony mix tenderly on the nose. The palate then adds the juiciness of ripe and aromatic mulberry. There are much darker hints in the background, an insinuation of the Douro heat even, and edges of liquorice. A very different but compelling take on this fragrant grape variety. Well done. A.K.
