Rich, heady and expressive nose - ripe and concentrated, fragranced with scented black cherry notes, dark chocolate powder, tobacco, coffee grains and some touches of exotic spices, cinnamon and clove. Gorgeous clarity on the palate, really precise fruit flavours - strawberry and red cherry given body by the texture which is chewy and fleshy - tannins fill the mouth but they're so well executed, cushioning the fruit so effortlessly. This also has a chalkiness and minerality on show with wet stone, graphite, pencil lead and mint. Feels like the wine is just coming alive, slowly expanding along the palate, growing in structure and length with the blackcurrant and dark chocolate, tobacco and liquorice notes growing and deepening. Vivid and energetic but with precision, harmony and sophistication. This feels purposeful, carefully controlled, a dark style, clearly rich and structured with such a long life ahead. It's the texture that's so appealing - you get this gorgeous mouthful of fruit with sweet dark liquorice edges that aren't spicy but more provide the nuance to showcase the layers of complexity. 

Light rusticity emerges from the 2016 Red Wine Acaibo Trinite Estate, with saddle leather and Amarena cherry liqueur. The palate has a more polished feel, with violets and redcurrant.
