Devil’s Corner Mt Amos 2019

Have you ever walked around a lush rose garden and buried your nose into blooms of different colours? I suggest you do as it’s remarkable to learn that not all roses smell the same. This wine has the aroma of deep red roses. Pure, bright cherries, raspberry and red currants interspersed with dried lavender and aniseed offering plenty of promise for cellaring. As does the powerful concentration on the palate, supported by fine-grained tannins and integrated acidity. This level of complexity in such a young wine is pure hedonism. There’s driving minerality – the aromas of stony soil after the rain – and subtle oak offering up warm baking spices. So much to love now with the promise of an extra reward for those with patience.
