Tasting Notes:
The 2016 vintage opens with an enchanting bouquet of ripe black cherry and wild blueberry, evolving into layers of espresso, vanilla, star anise, and cocoa powder. Sweet baking spices accentuate the nose, setting the stage for a bright, juicy palate. Vibrant brambly fruit and pomegranate intermingle with savoury undertones, complemented by nuances of bittersweet chocolate and cardamom. Silky, supple tannins provide plushness and weight, while luxurious flavours build in density through the mid-palate, culminating in a long, resonant finish.
