This has serious spine

Background notes of oak frame a highly expressive nose that offers up scents of violets

while less enveloping

but it has all the qualities to develop into a truly special wine

A deft application of oak easily allows the earthy aromas of plum

offering sweet red fruit flavors and gentle mineral lift

It has a deep colour and an equally deep

This easy to like effort should repay a few years of keeping though it could also be enjoyed shortly after release

as it will almost certainly head for a slumber during which it will be impossible to evaluate with any accuracy

It's much softer than the still-bright 2011

Here too there is a touch of menthol to the very floral and spicy aromas of primarily dark berries that are trimmed in a hint of sandalwood

Freshly cut flowers
