Jul 7th, 2016Bright and lifted aromatics. Wild strawberry, baked rhubarb, crushed violets, Flintstone vitamins, brambly stem, dried herbs. 8 years on and the tension and energy is palpable on the palate. Chalky tannins, iron, leather, the fruit shows as dried, barrel is subtle and well integrated. Medium plus in length and has a fantastic framework of acid that will lend itself to more cellaring.
