Bright red fruits conspire to create an amalgam, a continuum of flavours basking texturally avec sheen, gloss. These fruits do not travel solo – chinotto, licorice, bread and butter pudding flavours peddle in parallel, quietly courted by stylish oak(s). In youth, an (almond/amaretto/pistachio) pan forte flavour/texture gives way to a berried pannacotta-flavoured aftertaste. Tempting as it may be to partake early, it is not too difficult to sense how this wine’s tannin register and structure will ably convey its passage across time.
