Saturday, December 8, 2018 - Deep ruby. On the nose, medium (+) intensity. Aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, black plum, light notes of clove and smoke with gamey and farmyard aromas.
Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium alcohol, medium tannins which are ripe and fine-grained, medium-bodied with medium flavour intensity. Flavours are of blackcurrant, black cherry, black plum, smoke with notes of game and farmyard. The finish is medium (+).
This wine is of very good quality. Though is a medium-style of wine, it nevertheless shows good definition of aromas and flavours from mutiple clusters displaying complexity. The alcohol and acidity are in balance, creating a harmonious palate which is moreish and pleasant, especially on the good finish. To be outstanding it would require greater flavour concentration and complexity, but this is a fresh, easy-drinking wine. Due to the note of tertiary, some volatility, and the lighter flavour concentration this is a wine to drink now, not suitable for further ageing.

This with does show it's roots in it's lighter touch, marked fresh acidity and notes of volatility. But none of this is unpleasant - it is immensely drinkable with clean fruit fruit flavours. The best side of 'natural' wine.
