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.
