Conti Zecca - Terra 2018 (750ml) Vin Doux Naturel

Conti Zecca - Terra 2018 (750ml) Vin Doux NaturelPersistent bouquet of red fruit, leather, earth and plums, with hints of vanilla and tobacco. Bold, structured and plummy with an earthy character, lively tannins, deep, dark fruit and rustic finish. Loads of potential to age

Caramel creaminess here also

This should manage a long life and I am surprised here

black pepper and leather

with succulent tannins and a tangy acidity

with lemon confit

happily sitting beside the best from Cote Rotie

Malbec and Syrah

scrumptious tropical fruit with subtle notes of blackcurrant leaf

Bright acidity lifts up the dark-fruit profile and brings energy and drive to the lengthy palate

In any event

finishing long with rich red and dark fruits with smoldering stones
