Viticultural notes

Tasting notes
Torrents of tarry ropes, creosote
and linseed oil rising from deep within. Waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar with a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles leaping from its depths. Chewy peppered steak soaked in pepper sauce with the tang of crispy seaweed. A mouthful of black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits (blackcurrants,
blueberries and cherries) and bitter almonds. As the taste soaks in deeper, star anise and
hickory dry out the palate before a surprise of chalky effervescent violets fizz to the surface.
