The Winefront – Gary Walsh Oct 2020
Incredibly purple. My goodness it’s so purple. Fresh blackberry and boysenberry, pepper and flowers, spice and grilled steak, and as such a young wine, just a little fresh bread dough. Medium-bodied, dense and tightly packed, dark chocolate and pepper with a meaty character, but still pure of fruit, raspberry pie and the like. Tannin has a shale-like quality, layer upon layer of them. Spicy and a saline edge on a long dry finish.
