Vayots Dzor, Armenia. Mid bluish crimson. Lovely small-wild-berry aroma. Spicy and darker fruited. 'Amphora adds more funk', says winemaker Alberto Antonini. Spicy and a little savoury too but the fruit is so expressive. Tannins are present but so fine and have the spice woven into them. A little saliva-inducing. Spice has infiltrated the tannin like the fat marbled through the most flavourful beef. Peppery and mineral, and complex and persistent. Refined but has a wildness and energy to it...
