Some unusual options selected by Douglas Blyde (Il Borro): Served lightly chilled. Nose of sweet red berry and beef truffle and sous bois. V low tannin, becomes silkier in the mouth over time. Something on the finish, not quite cork but definitely dirt (or truffle?) from v old oak. Austere, mineral backbone. 11% alcohol. English wine, but winemaker from NZ.
