"Well, we are back in Hoffmann-Dallwitz vineyard here with 1888 through 1912 plantings sourced. These are meshed to Hoffmann 1951-planted Dimchurch vines.

This is potent and rich, a kind of rustic charm to it all, yet levity and relaxed feel too. Strength exists in dusty tannins that wrap woody spices, sweet spices, toasty notes and a lavish array of ripe raspberry, dark plum, currants and choc-cherry. Lush, yet tension too. There’s a pleasing thickness here yet a lift as well. It’s really spice-laden is the message, I just feel that needs repeating, and geez, overall, it’s really interesting and good in that regard. Individual. Alongside, texture does plush, somewhat chewy, a dusty and clove-spiked profile lingering. A textural haven! Sheesh, so much on here. A feast! It’s great."
