Tasting Note | A very dry growing season in 2009 led to a smaller crop than usual, but one which is more concentrated as a logical consequence of the drought. The Grenache was particularly successful in terms of quality: this varietal is responsible for flesh, sweetness and generosity, with a nose reminiscent of black cherries and dark ... Read More chocolate; the Shiraz provides acidity, wonderful blackberry fruit and firm acidity, while the Mourvedre’s contribution is to impart backbone, tannin and an earthy, almost licorice character. 12 months in American oak has added a hint of coconut and vanilla to the predominantly meaty, black fruit ensemble. |
