Attractive sweet blackcurrant on the nose, ripe and quite dense. Dense, sweet fruit on entry, followed by a wave of massive acidity and tannins. The wave washes away all sensation of fruit for a few moments, before the fruit floats back up to the surface and the conflict settles down to a more harmonious mid- and late palate. The aftertaste is dominated by the sweet blackcurrant cordial fruit and the gentle dark chocolate tannins. Big, with very sweet fruit. Day 4. 87-89/100. Tasted 23-Aug-2024.
