Written Notes

Deep colour. Inky dark blackcurrant flavours, blackberry flavours, bitter sweet tannins, underlying savoury oak. Very attractive fruit complexity with chalky dry finish and persistent blackberry pastille notes. Impressive wine with lovely vigour and ripe fruits. Tasted at Ch Ausone. 95 points
