Tasting notes
The nose of this majestic wine is herbal, with rich cherry fruit and a little white pepper again. It’s unsurprisingly the most exotic and expressive in the line-up in 2020, with wonderful purity of fruit allied to supple yet firm tannins. There are waves of crunchy raspberry fruit, with a touch of baking spice on the scented finish.

Two suppliers covering both terroirs. Ultra-intense imperial purple. There is a seductive first wave of the bouquet which I find each year here and love every time. Super ripe in 2020 with a little touch of minerals graphite behind. This dances on the palate, not as heavy as the start would suggest, slightly drier tannins, but the balance still works.
