A lovely wine supple, fleshy and spicy, with extra delicate tannin and oak. From the lead-off, the cherry-chocolate fruit really shows the Dao granite and is laden with wiry dark herbs. In the mouth, it's fleshy-meaty and mineral fresh-round with good movement and fruit-earth interplay. It has an excellent presence in the mouth but is not reliant on weight for the show. Wonderfully composed, it sits and radiates, effortless in effect. Gorgeous delicate tannin is the frame, rimming the mouth and allowing the fruit and spicy acid to radiate delicately. A wonderful advertisement for varietal blends.
