High tones from the generous and compact clusters of 667. Black raspberry, bramble and dark cherries. Gala apple skin, red licorice and pomegranate. Heady spices of sweet paprika, mace and allspice. Acidity is sappy and makes its presence known with a lovely pull of fine grained tannins. Big boned skeletal structure holds up the exotic fruit and spice. It’s working hard, this clone, and pulling more than its weight. A moreish, addictive drink that would look beautiful alongside medium rare lamb with garlic and fresh herbs. Drink now and will cellar well for the next 3-5 years.
