Intense morello cherry fruit, a touch of spice on the nose, ripe berry, liquorice and a hint of cinnamon spice on the palate. The wine is full flavoured, rich and smooth with elegant tannins.
Perfect with rich meat casseroles
Paler ruby than some earlier vintages due to the high proportion of Grenache, the nose is however as explosive, plush and opulent as ever, layered with exotic spice, cracked black pepper and of course streaked with crushed vanillin. The palate is instantly appealing, polished and smooth on entry but steeped in depth and texture as the flavours swirl around, lengthen and delight. The lasting impression is satisfying but subtle and fine, not overpowering as perhaps in earlier vintages when they were first released, but a better, finer wine.
Intense aromas of ripe raspberries and black cherries, then a wisp of smoke creeps in along with some hints of grilled cocoa beans. Before the wine hits the palate, you know that you’re in for an explosion of flavours. Deep and intense, this wine slowly reveals its secrets - black cherries, dark chocolate, a hint of clove and nutmeg - hugely rich and enveloping but with elegance.
