A smash and grab affair, with a PnP and slow tasting over 3 hours. Should’ve decanted, but as is this showed loads of black pepper up front, with hints of plum, smoke, and milk chocolate weaving in. Solid, but a few more years in bottle or a proper decant will likely move it forward.

Cracked black pepper galore is the first thing you find. From there you enjoy a blend of herbs, spices, truffle, crushed rocks and red fruits. In the mouth, the wine is vibrant, focused, fresh and clean, with a crisp, peppery, red berry finish. Give it a few years before pulling cork to develop more secondary notes and softness.

Bättre än väntat. Bra syra och strukrur. Kändes mer mogen än jag förväntat mig. Inte fullt lika örtigt kryddig som många andra från samma appellation.
