Medium-light straw with golden reflections, indicating red grapes in the mix. The bouquet is rich and complex, powerful and loaded with savoury toasted-bread, roasted-nut, coconut/aldehyde and dried fruit aromas, an extraordinary array of scents. It all translates directly to the palate where its voluminous flavour fills every corner of the mouth, a little vanilla is added, and it lasts a long time on the aftertaste. The balance is impeccable: the acidity is there but doesn't make itself felt, while the dryness is refreshing and appetising. A powerful wine in which barrel ageing is a strong and obvious influence on flavour and bouquet. 28 Jul 2024 Drink from 2025.
