This is a sleeping giant of a wine, newly released and stirring slowly. I love the ruby colour and aromas of blackberry bush, rosehip tea, wild cherry and cocoa. To drink, it’s gently unfurling, revealing forest floor and leafy lushness. Crushed red currants, violets and baking spices on the palate lead to vibrant, agile tannins and zesty length of flavour – meaning it’s great drinking now, but I suggest disciplining yourself and stashing some away for another 4-5 years. You’ll thank me.
