One sip and you’re hooked, such is the deceptive elegance of the wine. Deceptive? This is actually a wine showing a powerful concentration of fruit, but the overall effect is far from bull-ish, quite the opposite. Blackberry, dark cherry, plum, anise, sage, cedar and lively spices populate the flavour profile but flavour is one thing, it’s the natural flow of the wine, the slow build up in flavour and the intensity of the grape’s natural herbals, especially sage and thyme, and the overall command of the wine that so impresses.
