The nose intrigues with its aromas of black currant, dark cherry, graphite & exotic spice. The entry is smooth & subtle, with a firm, focused palate showing flavours of blackberry, perfumed black tea, oregano & hints of cedar. The mid-plate is linear & elegant with exquisite structure & fine-grained, supple tannins. Vibrant yet integrated acidity & a charcoal-edged texture create complexity in an exceptionally balanced wine. Blueberry, pencil lead & bay leaf linger on a fresh, precise finish with hints of cocoa.
