This has a wonderfully inviting nose, rich in cherries and berries, with an underlying stony minerality, saline notes and a persistent high-toned focus. There is old fruit intensity (40-year-old vines) on both the nose and palate, the latter presenting the same aromatic profile. Delicious, fresh, appetising fruit dominates, just restrained by a well-integrated tannic structure and the
ever present minerals. This offers an elegant balance of savoury spice and pure ripe fruit, with a bit of grip.
