This is a witches brew if ever I smelt one. There are mulberry stained hands and rich cocoa aromas. A blossoming violet or two. It undulates with a dense and slow moving motion, some sultry tannins and the richness that Durif drinkers know and love. The fruit is poised without the raisin and cooked plum character that sometimes creeps in. Bold and satisfying. Drink with lamb ragu.
