Clear, bright cherry red in colour, with a wide rim. Aromas of garrigue herb-infused red cherries, damsons and raspberries simply leap from the glass, with a touch of polished leather, spice and eau de vie. Succulent red and dark fruit flavours abound, in a wine that is rich in flavour and concentration, but surprisingly balanced and fleet of foot, with a seamless mix of warm spice, silky tannins, ample acidity and a generous, long, tangy/spicy finish. A real treat for a mid-winter's evening. And although it is a delight to drink now, I have no doubt that it will keep nicely for a good few years yet. One of the finest bargains on our list. |
