Shanteh Wale
Utter seduction in a glass. The 2024 shows staining beetroot and blood plums, some orange oils, a shrubbery of stalky herbs and black olive. It slinks and slips over the palate with ease and grace, super fine tannins. This is exquisite in its textural composition, drinkability and lifted perfume. Opening up it shines with violet and lavender and leaves the palate with a sheen of silky tannins. This will age well, blossoming with more granitic earth and briar over time. Drink now or cellar for another 6-8 years. An ox tail ragu would send you over the edge. Points: 95/100
