Description
Deep crimson hued with violet undertones in appearance, the 2021 vintage opens with intriguing, well-delineated aromas of ripe, juicy mulberry and Queen Anne cherry that give way to fragrant yet subtle notes of cedar and aromatic bay leaf. Beautifully balanced, with structural support provided by a vein of long, silky, black tea-like tannin and a touch of mineral-like salinity which adds tension through to an elegant, energetic finish.
