Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Seductively perfumed and enticing, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, Black Doris plum, violet, warm spice and hazelnut aromas with a hint of tobacco. It's richly fruited and flavoursome with excellent density and presence. Wonderfully framed by loads of fine chalky tannins, making it classically structured and persistent. A blend of Cabernet Franc (49%), Cabernet Sauvignon (33%) & Merlot (18%). www.trinityhill.com.

Deep, full, ruby-red with a purple hue, lighter on edge. The nose is full and vibrant, with aromas of red and black currants, plums and blackberries entwined with vine leaf, cedar and tobacco. Full-bodied, concentrated fruit formed a firm core, displaying cassis, blackberries and plums, melded with vine leaf, unfolding savoury earth, tobacco and cedar. The mouthfeel is rich and mineral-textural, with firm, tight-knitted tannins contributing to vitality and structure. The subtle fragrance of vine leaf added a layer to succulent yet savoury fruit. This Gimblett Gravels red blend shows excellent, flavoursome fruit with cedar and tobacco quality and structured mouthfeel. Match with tomahawk and balsamic glazed short ribs over the next 8-10 years.
