Dense and mineral-driven, this shows the intensity of Rippon's oldest plantings. Savory herbs and wet stone anchor dark plum and blackberry fruit, while a firm spine of acidity cuts through the wine's brooding power. The tannins grip hard now, demanding patience for the earthy complexity to integrate.
