Bilberry, Acai and boysenberry. A hint of Kirsch and lilac florals. Sandy tannins that spread like a fine gauze across the palate. This vintage shows a brooding side with a darker and deeper core of brown spice including cocoa and crushed black peppercorn. This is always a very tangible and textural wine experience with savoury notes underpinned by purple florals and black fruit. Stay with this wine a while and it will unfurl in its nuance and detail, drink it swifty and you’ll be equally chuffed. I think a flakey meat burek beside this wine would be a very handy lunch or dinner. Drink now or will cellar well for another 5-8 years.
