The lift of blueberry and leafy, ripe herbs is unmistakable. That is a wine of variety and place. Cinnamon and clove also round out an exotic nose. The palate is characterised by a ripeness in tannins only seen in these wines in the great years. It carries the medium-weighted fruith effortlessly. After several years of absence, the reward is a stellar release of Quarry.
