Clean, pure, harmonious, beautiful balance between fruit, freshness and oak, good flavour intensity and length. Complete and attractive, if slightly anonymous.
In spite of a dollop of glossy blackcurrant fruit and a hint of vanilla, a slightly Italianate nose, with notes of leather, earth and spice, slatey minerality; medium weight, relatively dry, seems fully mature, slightly tough; drying finish with notes of aniseed and liquorice.
