Posted: 18:50 Thu 05 Sep 2024
Attractive warm blackcurrant on the nose. Balanced entry with the fruit showing as a bright and acidic blackcurrant. The acidity is piercing, cleaning away the tannins that attempt to camp on the insides of the cheeks. The fruit remains bright and fragrant, carrying a lovely freshness throughout the palate. The blackcurrant aftertaste carries a gentle chewiness and a layer of menthol warmth. The heat fades to deliver a well balanced and attractive long finish of wonderful blackcurrant with a hint of dark chocolate. Delicious. Day 3. 90-92/100. Tasted 23-Aug-2024.
