a strikingly floral nose of crushed petals and stems sets this liquid’s
framework… garrigue and Nordic forest undergrowth taunts damson
fruit, pain d’epice and subtle peaty elements into a convincing show of
rusticity
the delicate sappiness holds the taut, yet compact and textural palate
in a state of flux, whilst tarry red currants and slightly meaty
components enfold long with a savoury egress… through the
experience a medicinal quality flutters, reminiscent of billie hoke, which
cannot be ignored by the further travelled
once opened, this wine will move considerably after day one with more
flamboyant adjectives that will make this tasting note seem 101
