We have had many saxum wines since joining the allocation list after an eight year wait. This by far has been my favorite to date. I took my first whiff and knew it was different.
Nose - dark and red fruits but not overly so. Cocoa and a hint of dark chocolate come through. Some vanilla but also subdued. Not overly spicy.
Palate - dark chocolate and wonderful dark cherry mixed in - almost cordial but not sweet. Pleasant linger and not as much of a fruit bomb as I’ve had in some other saxum wines.
Really a knockout. Now I know why saxum is so famous. Well done.
