Expressive and layered, with ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum joined by delicate notes of violet and truffle. Subtle hints of spice, tobacco and dark chocolate emerge with time in the glass, giving the wine an aromatic character that is both generous and beautifully refined. On the palate the wine is rich and velvety, with ripe dark fruit carried by supple, finely textured tannins. The 2019 has impressive concentration, yet its freshness and balance keep the wine remarkably elegant. Layers of black cherry, cassis and gentle spice unfold across the palate, leading into a long, harmonious finish. Already approachable, it has the structure and complexity to develop beautifully with further ageing.
