Every bottle will taste a little different so it's a little disingenuous to write a tasting note. Let's just say it's a peculiar and delicious, character-rich wine with amazing, rapier-like acidity splicing though a luscious core of unctuous fruitiness. One of the weirdest wines you are likely to try.
The nose is rich and intense with its abundance of black- and blueberry fruit, ripe brambles, and notes of black olives, perfume and dust. Whiffs of white pepper and coriander seed add to the complexity. The bright dark berries of the nose follow through onto a juicy, abundant palate with classic red liquorice and fresh cherry flavours. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a broad, weighty midpalate, yet the mouthfeel is smooth, gentle. Lively acidity and svelte, velvety tannins are balanced and add to the elegance, focus and energy of the wine. Hints of cherry tobacco and exotic spice linger on a pure, dry finish.
