"Nose of roasted hazelnuts and strawberries with strong plum overtones. The palate is chocolaty with rich smokiness and mulberry, plum fruits. Ripe but persistent tannins and a silky round texture round off the wine. Will develop with time." International Wine Challenge Judging Panel
Another seriously good Jascots gem along the same lines as Armonio de Mas Neuf and Valserrano 'Finca Monteviejo'. It is of 'the blockbuster' nature so I appreciate that it's not really the perfect lunchtime tipple but this beautifully made, Gold Medal-winning goliath is very complex with multiple layers of spice, cherry, new oak and cedar, black fruits, earth, tar, leather and tobacco. It is an immense achievement and deserves every accolade that has been poured upon it.
