Obviously unfiltered, this wine has always had a lot of sediment - and every bottle has had it on the bottom of the cork and in the neck which makes the first glass a challenge. Vibrant aromas of blackberry, black currant, blueberry, cedar and vanilla - all carrying over to the palate. Big blackberry / black currant finish. Tannins are medium low - drinking well now.

Every bottle I've opened has more sediment than I'd expect and strangely just under the cork.
Sour cherries, raspberries and a hint of leather on the nose with a fairly pronounced vegetal note. Same characteristics on the palate with moderate tannins. Not an over-powering wine, medium body, short finish and drinks well on its own.
