A cool climate example done well, displaying raspberry, nutmeg and a host of brown cake spices aromas. Some cool climate white pepper also develops with hints of graphite. On the palate there is a bag of sweet black, brambly, stewed fruits with hints of spice to accompany the dry powdery tannic finish. Overall, a satisfying medium bodied, fruit forward wine. Very Côtes du Rhône-ish (from a warmer vintage)

Rating: Highly Recommended

Ratings Key:
Outstanding (Score range 95-100)
Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.
Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)
A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.
Recommended (Score range 89-91)
An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
