Scents of black cherry, baked raspberry, and plum lift from the glass. A wisp of violet is present, as is tickles of white pepper. There is also a whiff of barnyard, an expected indication of brettomyces. It’s light and satiny on the tongue to start, showing deep raspberry flavours. Velvety tannins pique the palate’s interest next, ripe blackberry and red plum tastes follow. The acidity is on point, providing a juicy counterbalance to the tannins. Nice long finish with raspberry, plum and hints of blueberry. Needs some time in the decanter before serving.
