Tasting Notes :
Colour : Deep dark cherry-red.
Nose : Initially, plummy fruits meshed with sweet spices
(predominantly cinnamon), almond.
and then a pause to imbibe the aromatic atmospherics of a patisserie : Crème anglaise,
cannoli with vanilla custard and classic bourbon vanilla at that!
A croquembouche’s (profiterole) hazelnut brittle.
Grated chocolate – both white and dark. Fresh, awakening.
Palate : Medium-bodied. Raspberry/chocolate flavours with a sprinkling of spice and cola.
Symptoms : Fleshy, and an almost glycerolic texture; bulbous/expansive palate profile. Diagnosis :
Tannins integrated/embedded supportive, not standing apart. Oak no obtrusive flavours to speak of ...
yet all the benefits of a calm maturation is seasoned hogsheads. Acidity – in tune with the wine’s
weight and structure. Cure : Rest in bottle for a year or two. Needs time.
