A spectacular fragrance of tea leaves, heather, lavender, with a wonderful perfume that keeps changing on every breath in. This leads you into darker forest fruits and a touch of savoury spice. The palate does not disappoint after such an introduction: crushed black pepper and a hint of cardamom. Pure, intense, wonderful framework of freshness and finely knitted tannins. So expressive and powerful light yet light on its feet.
Very dark crimson. Rich and spicy on the nose. Juicy and succulent. A hint of something almost overripe. Heady and very definitely not uptight. Sort of sprawls all over the palate in a devil-may-care fashion. Lots of fun, though the tannins are by no means insistent. Oddly readable, but lots of fun.
