Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with garnet edges — vibrant, youthful and brilliantly clear.
Aroma:
Expressive and refined, showing aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry and red plum backed by violets, cedar, pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and subtle cocoa.
A gorgeous mix of perfume and savoury complexity.
Palate:
Silky, medium-bodied and wonderfully balanced.
Expect layers of:

cassis, redcurrant and plum
-
bay leaf, violets and graphite
-
fine-grained tannins

beautifully integrated French oak
The 2019 vintage delivers precision and restraint, offering both ripe fruit generosity and classical structure. There’s superb definition and a long, graceful flow across the palate.
