This has aromas of blackberries, porcini mushrooms, tobacco and charred bark. It’s medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. Savory, with plenty of earth and mineral character. Fresh finish. Drink or hold.

Takes a minute to get into its stride, but quickly delivers bright blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with juicy acidity, grilled almond and liquorice root. This has clear grip right through the palate, and an...
