The Story
The complex nose offers a brooding compote of dark berry fruit, black olives, perfume and spice. The Blackberries, youngberries, brambles and violets of the nose follow through onto a full, round palate with intense notes of allspice, liquorice and black pepper. The mid-palate is concentrated and focused, yet austere and lithe at the same time. The wine is savoury, almost Rhône-like in style with integrated acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins to balance, offering structure and great ageing ability. The spicy finish endures with hints of cloves, nutmeg and cardamom and subtle garrigue nuances.
