Review
Alluring red cherries, fig hearts and lingonberry jam. Fallen autumn leaves and raw cacao beans. A smattering of orange bitters and apple skin. Densely packed, powdery tannins stand tall amongst the freshness of crunchy acidity. There is a pumice stone mineral quality and plenty of length and line. This is only beginning to hit its straps and will cellar well for another few years. Novum are bursting from the gates and taking charge.

Tasting Profile
nose

This wine shows great pinosity. On the nose it’s full of dark wild berries, cocoa and damsel plum.

palate

The palate is more delicate, with dark fruit bolstered by a supportive but not dominating core of tannin, with a very endearing soft, rich mouth feel. A wine to savour.
