A sample tasted at the Taylor Lodge tasting room after a quick (audio guided) tour round the Lodge.
Soft nose of fresh raspberry. Raspberry palate with a gentle violet overtone. Nice tannins grip gently. The aftertaste shows a little menthol heat but this settles slowly to allow a dark chocolate to settle in. Pleasantly drinkable. 85/100. Tasted 18-Jun-22.
