Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
 |
|
| Taste | Great intensity and ripeness with a distinct mineral note and well refined, ripe tannins. Flavours of blackcurrant, menthol, eucalyptus, black cherries, blackberries and licorice. Nice transition from ripe, almost jammy fruit to warm, spicy flavours. Great length remaining well-balanced to the end. |
| Nose | Concentrated fruit aromas of blackberry fruit pastilles, blackcurrant jam, black cherries, and other dark fruits. Touches of mint and other herbs. |

| Jancis Robinson | Dark purple. Very vigorous and concentrated on the nose. Round and supple. Very superior. Fruit almost disguises the fine tannins but this is obviously from the appellation. Polished texture but very honest. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2021-2030 |
