Really deep crimson! So suave and sophisticated! Still very youthful but clearly very ambitious and this should last a very long time. Dry and savoury with the nose just starting to evolve. Too tannic to open yet but with very honest ingredients.
Vanya Cullen is the tannin whisperer. Here, the finest of fine tannins are saturated deep within the fresh dark berry and currant fruit, conferring a dryness to the palate. This lends gravitas, without detracting from the fruit purity and sheer fluid grace of delivery. Finely honed, the fruit is perfumed with roses, violets, tobacco, bitter chocolate and cedar. A pronounced graphite and gravel undertow persists through the prolonged, elegant finish.
