In 2015, elegant cassis on the nose and all the refinement and breed of Tuscany's answer to Château Margaux! Violets, blueberries and a touch of vanillin at this early stage, plus pomegranates and damsons. It just alights on the palate. There is a sweet aspect to this that creeps up on you, so fine-grained and 'shiny'. I really like it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
