Vintage 2022
Mild-purple to purple-red; a more opaque rim edge. A bag of boiled lollies mixed with a roadside of dusty blackberry bushes in full fruit. Earth, rose petals, fresh and dried herbs; fennel and sandalwood, and - having said that - the faintest hint of older French oak bouquet. Deep aromatics above which spice exotica floats shimmeringly. Each whiff is something new, as if the wine is toying with you. Grip and texture. A lesson in grip and texture... Peppercorns atop plummy, dark berry fruit flavours and cherry pith and a pastis/aniseed kick. Dry, very dry; but there underlying the dark and determined berry fruit foundation runs a ripe, sliding, slinking acidity. This is a playful mouthful of red wine as much as it is a fully, quietly qualified one.
