The Chocolate Block
TASTING NOTES:
Intense blackberry, bramble, and lavender aromas with gentle nuances of potting soil and cured meat dominate a dark and brooding nose.
The abundance of perfume and the earthy character of the nose follows through generously onto a powerful palate, with a lush compote of blueberries, ripe plums, black currants & cherries.
Cacao-powdery tannins are abundant, adding texture and complexity to an almost savoury mid-palate, seamlessly complementing the vivid dark fruits, alcohol and acidity.
This is a robust, structured wine, yet it is delicate, poised and elegant at the same time.
Black fruits, cumin spice, white pepper, liquorice and hints of garrigue persist on a velvety finish.
