This is intriguing in its complexity, restraint, and suave personality. The nose is initially demure, with subtle notes of blood plum skin and persimmon giving way to cassia bark, nutmeg, and star anise. Red currant and clove-studded orange follow, alongside hints of cherry pie and subtle whole bunch character. It’s complex and alluring, with a Burgundian sense of restraint that draws you in. The palate is velvety and finely textured, with a gentle bunchy grip. Plum, rhubarb, tangy dark cherry, and woody spice are layered with blood orange, clove, and star anise. Tannins are supple yet ample, framing the fruit and brown spice notes and guiding the wine to a long, composed finish. Delicious.
