Freshly floral and red fruited, this veers away from the classic light body of its French cousins and delivers a fuller (we'll call it medium, to be technically correct), richer drinking experience. There is delightful nettle and twiggy-ness from a bit of whole bunch work, and classic sweet spice from well deployed, spare-no-expense oak. Cherries, liquorice, plum, aniseed, earth, Turkish delight... there's really no end to what's discoverable, and lucky for us, we stocked up, so we can go on discovering after this bottle is done.
