Pale brown colour. A little mute to begin but with coaxing and patience a wonderfully complex bouquet of coffee, figs, mushrooms, damp soil, preserved kumquat and dried cherry / mulberry emerges. With a high level of enlivening acidity, the incredibly rich palate has layers of spice, coffee and savoury flavours well supported by a medium level of velvety tannins. Long finish with some lingering notes of creme brulee. Fully mature but should cellar a further 8-10 years at least.
