Delaforce

DelaforceFull medium ruby. Roasted black raspberry and cassis lifted by musky espresso and an exotic smoky, peaty element. Dense and rich; sweet and approachable but with shape and grip. A bit youthfully grapey in the mouth, with smoke and earth notes. Finishes with building, slightly austere tannins and very good length. Stephen Tanzer

with lemon confit and fig mustard

ripe black currants

youthfully austere and robust

The energetic and beautifully well-delineated barely mediumbodied flavors possess a beguiling mouthfeel

Broad and muscular

It has a perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit

it takes a moment to clear to reveal dense layers of black fruits

Otherwise there is good richness to the sleek and caressing medium weight flavors that possess a beguiling texture while delivering very solid depth and persistence on the balanced finale

all of which are trimmed in a hint of oak toast
