Tasting Notes
Quite different to the Narbantons. Much darker. Dense, brooding, quite unrevealing nose at first, takes some coaxing. Smoke, dark cherry, earth. Iron ore. Compact, tightly knit tannic backbone, which will blossom in time. There is real power in the background here, which will require some patience. Nicely rounded and well-proportioned, real freshness. Blueberry and dark cherry on the finish, a foretaste of what’s to come. Excellent.
