This wine is jet black in color, with a bold magenta rim and violet inflections. The nose is primal and pure, with fresh, youthful fruits including pithy black currants, sweet blackberries and sloe. Despite the full and muscular body, the attack is impressively fresh, thanks to invigorating acidity. The tannins feel gangly though they are fine-grained. Pure overall, this offers a moderate finish, with lovely sappiness. Drink now–2020.
