A provocative violet purple colour with expressive nose of fresh and ripe dark fruits, exotic spice, dark chocolate and hints of amaro.
The palate is powerful and intense with fine silky tannins around a complex core of blackberry, mulberry and dark plum fruit. There are notes of warm brown spices, dark chocolate and fresh espresso adding another layer.
This is a seductive wine with velvety texture and long and refreshing finish.

Definitely slightly overt in the (premium French) oak department as a youngster, but of course this is the style of Elenay. We have seen how the punchy oak 'folds' into the fruit with time in the cellar, and this vintage will be no exception.
