A very nice bouquet of herbs, spices and flowers on the nose. On the palate, the initial taste of strong, sweet fruits is quickly counterbalanced by medium acidity, velvety tannins and some baking spices. 15% ABV, but doesn’t show it. Definitely not an austere wine, but a very nice one.

Like many of Denis's wines, this is not a stereotypical French drop - it's less dry/tannic and more reminiscent of New World wines. Bursting with lots of deep, dark fruit but does need time to get to temp and breathe. Possibly more rounded on day 2. Only downside is price as not 100% sure its worth that much more than other Naked faves.

NW 2022 Xmas Roadshow (UK): Grenache-led blend with lifted notes showing garrigue, blackberry pastille, dried earth and fennel. A soft entry with a rich texture, the wine ground peppercorns, sweet blue fruits, date and raspberry jelly powder all complexed by spice, liquorice and toast. A very good wine whose firm, dry tannins is softened by a fleshy core of fruits.
