WILD aniseed, mint and forest vines introduce this baby. These greens vibrate on top as the smoother, softer, chocolate and blackcurrant flesh grows deliciously below. After that early-opening frenzy, it becomes apparent that the wine has a lovely subdued structure, settling in for the long haul. The oak is smoky, subtle, spicy and supportive. Overall, it’s elegantly balanced and ready to go - it simply needs lots of calm cellar.
