Alkina Old Quarter 2022

This 2022 GSM blend has appealing generosity of meaty, spicy aromas underpinned by a rich base of fleshy plums. It then tightens up with licorice and new leather flavours encasing a chewy tannin frame. Overall, it feels a little more approachable and reserved than the stellar 2021 vintage but will drink handsomely over the medium term.
