Loads of barberry and other red berries, a touch of cream, flint, iodine. The house signature persists even through saignée extraction - that stoney, saline thread weaving through the red fruit like a mineral spine. Herbs, rhubarb, Sicilian orange oil. Super juicy, a touch of cider, sherry. Maybe not the most complex wine, but an incredibly beautiful candy. I was sceptical going in, but this is delicious.
