Plum jam, cassis and blueberry aromas intermingle with dusty paperbark, game meat and baking spices in a poised, lifted and overall inviting opening. Some lovely savoury notes of black tea and earth to follow, filling things out and adding dimension and complexity. The palate is equally elevated and bright, with vibrant fruit notes akin to the nose along with a whisper of bacon fat sitting high in the mouth while underpinned by a brisk line of red fruited acidity and finely woven black tea infused tannins. Lovely poise through a long choc-mint laced finish. This is suitably ripe, but with an air of elegance and wonderful complexity. Bravo.
