Blackcurrant and licorice flow with effortless grace, while white pepper adds savory complexity. The blend of young and 50-year-old Mazards fruit shows beautifully, creating silky texture that wraps around the wine's vibrant core. Supple tannins provide gentle structure without overwhelming the suave fruit. Extremely approachable now.
