Med+ intensity, dark fruit, savoury. Saline/seaweed character, undergrowth. Dark fruit, firm tannin. Aspirational style but does it have the fruit to carry all that structure? |
Lovely fragrant nose. quite floral but still lots of intensity and blue berry fruit. Palate is balanced with a nice core of acid and good length. |
Savoury edge to the nose as main focus; balanced but slightly grippy tannins. Good length |
Died petals, pencil oak. Med weight palate, delicate fruits. Drying tannin. |
