Mostly Syrah, with a little Grenache. Bright, deep, clear cherry red. Wow - what a wonderfully inviting, complex nose! It simply reeks of all manner of bramble, blackcurrant and red cherry fruits, polished old wood, dried orange peel, leather and burning incense, with subtle herby and spicy notes. And it tastes so fresh and full of life, with all of those sweet, fruity, spicy/herby flavours coming through on the medium-bodied palate, allied to truly mouth-watering acidity, just the right level of spicy, ripe tannins and myriad secondary flavours and nuances that linger long on the finish, with the relatively light alcohol allowing all of those qualities to shine, and to keep you coming back for another glass. An utterly delicious wine, to drink now or over the next 3 to 5 years - or possibly more. Certified organic and biodynamic. |
