"Quite full red robe; the nose leans towards plush, has a sweet herbs, crushed raspberry, plum aroma, murmurs power from within. The palate is full and rolling, carries a macerated red berry flavour, with glow on the inside, ends on baked stones’ tones. It shows the strength of the lands in a hot summer can soften a little if left until spring 2021; it will never drink freely..."
""Juicy redcurrant and plums, rich of cedar and spice. violets liqueur and roasted gamey meat. Lovely persistent."" [+]
"Find notes of charcuterie and roasted meats over black olives, plums, rose water and wild thyme in the nose of this full-bodied blend. Despite its intense nose, it is surprisingly more agile and approachable to enjoy now.
