Profoundly aromatic, with layers of complexity that evolve over time in the glass. Initially dark fruited with subtle spice, the wine opens to exhibit perfumed red cherries, rhubarb, violets and salted liquorice. There is a beautiful clarity of fruit flavours including strawberry cream, iodine and plum skins. The wine reveals a palate of fine detail and typical ferrous minerality - beautifully elegant but with great depth and penetration.
There's a black pepper character on the nose; the fruit has black cherries and is saturated and dense. There is profound cohesion and intensity, gravelly ferrous tannin and a burly, gnarly character in the mouth. RP
