In many ways this challenging vintage has suited this style of wine rather well. It’s resulted in a less opulent style, although there’s still plenty of fruit intensity, but there is also a dry savoury dried herby character that adds a degree of sophistication to balance the primary fruit. Excellent balance and poise with a neat underlay of oak.
