Potent aromatic punch of dark cherry-berry, forest-floor and a Campari-like herbal bitterness. The plush yet vibrant palate is laden with summer berries interwoven with earthy minerals, blood-orange acidity, raspy tannins and charred vanilla oak.

This is a classy and harmonious white that's aromatic without being overly boisterous. Vivid lime, passion fruit and black currant leaf lead on the nose, backed by more subtle tropical, grass and dried herb nuances. The palate is dry, with a lovely, slippery texture balanced by prickly acidity and a brightness and purity of fruit.

The palate flexes muscles but the lifted acidity and powdery, spicy tannins don't obscure the fruit or site expression. A wine of power but also of clarity and approachability.

Comforting aromas of mocha, licorice, red and black berries and baking spice are backed by a subtle but present lick of sweet, toasty oak. The lifted acidity and fine, powdery tannins make for a powerful if slightly austere palate.

It opens with baked cherry and currant fruit, sage, cracked pepper, licorice and tar, with a spine of chocolaty oak. There is power on the palate, framed in savory, powdery tannins amid the fresh fruit and pepper flavors. Cellar Selection.
