Tasting Notes
The biggest smiles are on the faces of those who are patient enough to hide this away for ten years or so. We know that's hard, as it's so eminently approachable when just released, and the tannins are already silky soft. We might also add that despite pairing oh so well with big softies like Camembert, this is a genuine smile and in no way some cheesy grin! Now if you can wait ten years these vines will be in their sixties and already have an elegant yet old-fashioned style. These smooth old rascals have indeed perfected the dad joke, and grow regally on their own Calcareous hilltop, creating a lovely cherry-red, subtly fragrant, soft quality.
