...aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with Asian spices, rose petals and coniferous forest and framed by a discreet patina of new oak. Full-bodied, layered and muscular, with a broad, textural attack and an ample core of fruit that conceals a serious chassis of tannin, it's long, resonant and intensely perfumed.
Complex fruit aroma of both red and black fruits. Vibrant, open, with a joyful spring in its step. Firm, darker fruited and more savoury on the palate, not as joyous as the aroma but still with a deep energy and harmony. Deliciously dry on the finish with a slight woody note – more stems than oak – increasing the freshness, though there is none of the leafiness of the Richebourg here.
Black tea, herbs, mint, orange peel, spice, star anise and sweet red-toned fruit are all beautifully woven together. Saline underpinnings extend the mid-palate and finish effortlessly.
