Dark core, purple rim.
The nose is varietally defined, with a distinctive chocolate/mint note immediately to the fore. With a gentle swirl, generous dark fruits emerge. Fresh satsuma plum, mulberries and blackberries. The confectioners shop appears again, with a suggestion of red liquorice. Toasted oak is manifesting as roasted hazelnuts...Nutella!
The palate is firm, structured and very generous. Milk chocolate flavours lead the way, with a generous berry compote close behind. The tannins are silky, almost waxy or polished, creating a fine graphite like core. The texture is verging on lanolin, cheese rind, creamy. Juicy and utterly delicious.
