Takes some time to open up but then a lot of elements fall into place. Long, long lines of mature tannin. Classic chocolatey, cigar-like flavours. Blackcurrant and dark olive. And a line of acidity that keeps the wine fresh, almost light, while never separating from the wine’s flavours. Lovely fresh, ripe berry fragrances pour forward over the course of a bottle. And despite its tannin framework, it maintains a clear, sturdy drinkability.
