Blackberry, garigue, some bacon fat, some tapenade, some crushed rocks too. Wow what a nose. The fruit is radiant. The palate is delicious with a radiating blackberry fruit, some great acid drive, a great width and some matter on the sides, the mouthfeel is softand almost sweet until a tannins-powered mid palate that creates some distortion in the force and gives way to some drying, tinkeling layer over a long blackberry forward finish that goes on for a very long while. A tiny savory touch pops out in the end too. This is simple but this is great!

May 13th, 2015Good tannins from oak and skin, light body, black currant, dark rich fruits, candy and port smelly at the nose. This would be good with pork shoulder, steak or rack of lamb.
