Toasted black sesame and rye notes lead the way, with date, burnt caramel, singed peanut, hazelnut husk and green tea accents providing terrific sweet/bitter contrast throughout. The finish shows an opulent edge, with fig compote and coffee can bread flavors, all while staying firmly focused thanks to riveting acidity underneath. A thoroughly intriguing wine. Drink now. 100 cases made.
Treacle, fudge, fig, prune, vanilla – pretty extraordinary as a piece of vinous history – rich, layered and very opulent. A relic, an artefact, an ancient parchment. Precious!
