It is a world class wine, exhibiting completely and smack bang in the course of it’s consuming window. Providing genuinely good worth for cash, circa £30/$44.
The preliminary medicinal aroma and style, smack of a closely aged Bordeaux, however the hotter local weather affect means the concentrated fruit simply provides slightly extra energy. It’s a completely fascinating wine, an actual thought provoker if you’ll, that may have you ever swirling and sniffing for an eternity.
A improbable flavour profile of unbelievable depth. Blackcurrant and vanilla, with delicate purple fruit enjoying a supportive function alongside some stunning savoury notes. Improbable oak integration, with creamy candy vanillin caressing the palate and a mess of forest ground components (mossy, dank, woody) including an entire different dimension.
Ribena-esque in color, fading to a slight bricked hue. Medium bodied, linear acidity, velvety tannins, distinct aroma and flavour depth, with a end match for a King (and Queen!). Extremely nuanced and chic. You gained’t discover a Burg or Bdx to rival this for something near the identical worth.
