Official tasting notes:
Nose: A rather mellow start. Bramble jam stands out against a background of smouldering barbecue smoke. A lot of tobacco leaves and old fabrics. Smoked ham. Even a little manure and hints of a musty wine cellar. There’s also a brighter side of red apples and redcurrants. It’s mature, with a slightly subdued profile, but showing nice aromas and no off-notes (either sulphury or winey) for me.
Palate: A lot of smoke and wet earthy notes come out at first, quickly followed by winey notes. Definitely more wine influence than I expected from the nose. Toffee and strawberries. Then astringent notes start to take over, like burnt Mediterranean herbs and a trace of leafy bitterness. More cranberries now. Hints of saline soy sauce and smoke as it fades.
Finish: Long, smoky and sweet, with red fruits and salinity.
