This is an amazing bargain, and we have 4 doz left. The nose is sweet with spice, clean earthy cellar floor notes and hints of fruitcake, currants, raspberry and gingerbread. The palate opens with clarity, ripe fruit fleshyness and drive, framed by lively acidity. Silky in texture, it moves with ease across the mid-palate, the tannins finely woven and unobtrusive. Subtle pepper spice adds lift before a finish marked by refined, savoury bitters that lends both length and distinction.
The clay soil and the 20 day maceration added suave tannins and the ageing in cement for 9 months helped to round out and meld the 4 varieties.
