Black pepper and earthy spices open the proceedings. The savoury drive from the whole bunches is evident and is partnered by dried leaves, twigs and autumnal things. Red and dark cherry fruit are bright and charged for action. The flow and delicate touch are superb. Pan juices, some char and game add detail and complexity. It's hard not to love the savoury driven charisma that this wine delivers. It's a beauty and one that will reward over the medium term.
