Saxum Bone Rock 2020 1.5L

"Iodine and violets lend a lifted, airy perfume to this intensely concentrated yet superbly balanced, almost laser-etched wine. It's powerful and unctuous certainly, but its black cherry and berry flavours are pristine, coating the palate in waves of satin and dustings of cocoa powder, chalk and ore. A complex yet hedonistic wine sourced from vines planted more than 30 years ago (into rock using a jackhammer) and aged for 33 months, predominantly in French barriques." - Decanter, DC98, 2/2024
