SF | Deep purple with a dense core, then a classic Ferriere nose dominated by punnets of fresh raspberry, black berry and a sprig of mint. Engaging and captivating! The palate is a little troubled by reduction ( not evidenced on the nose) I suspect that this may take time to clear and am anxious at the commercial implications. Al th more so as I am highly respectful of the modus operandus employed by Clare and Gonzague in their vineyards. What to do? 89
