Vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, oak, gun powder (?) on the nose. Quite complex and it reminds me of some côtes de Beaune young noses I had. The palate is rather well balanced with a velvety texture, a strong acid backbone and fruits that compliment it pretty well. A quick finish with red berries. Not very different from red burgundy I had lately except for a sweet first touch of the palate (does it come from the 14% alcohol?)

Bought on a whim from M&S Valletta, Strait (they now sell wine!), Wasn't sure at first but grew on me, tidy little limit noir €19.95, if stuck for a wine here then gfi.

Lovely fruit flavor profile, but acidity too high making the wine a little unbalanced (2014 vintage).

Superb wine, deserves all the accolades recently bestowed upon it. Lovely balance of ripe red cherry and berry fruit with vanilla oak flavour. High acidity and medium (-) tannin with a long finish. Outstanding
