The Planta Circa wines are always powerhouses but still boast a fair bit of finesse. It’s beautifully fragrant with lashings of mulberry, blackberry, cassis, blueberry and violets, and the fruit is glowing and bright in the mouth, with abundant fruit sweetness. The palate is rich and concentrated with dusty tannins and loads of structure giving it a solid backbone that carries it from the lips to the back palate, satisfying at every step. These wines are always great for cellaring but are also made to be approachable when young. Absolutely delicious.
