Deeply rich. Deeply concentrated. Round, rustic, earthy, pure fruited. Blackberry compote and quince, red and (classically Vale) blue fruits. A luscious mouthfeel framed by the deployment of quality oak. Sweet smoke and vanilla unfurl in the glass. Ripe fruit that never delves into being over-ripe or jammy, it sits poised on the edge retaining freshness and zeal. Let it breathe and it will offer more and more, this wine was still evolving as we emptied the very last drop. Certifiably and unequivocally bloody delicious.
