Oak, Spice, Vanilla
Black Market Mystery Wines™ are simply wines we love, with the branding hidden and revealed only when it arrives at your door!
"Deep ruby in the centre, fading to pinkish tones at the edge, this wine opens with aromas of ripe plums and dark cherries, complemented by clove, vanilla-spiced oak, and a hint of subtle wood smoke. It’s youthful yet shows good complexity. On the palate, it’s dry, vibrant, and fruit-forward, showcasing classic varietal character and freshness. The flavours echo the nose, layered with fine-grained tannins and notes of clay and stony terroir. The oak influence adds a toasted nut nuance alongside a touch of reductive lift. A fine example that balances strength with elegance" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
"An expressive Pinot Noir displaying varietal typicity with aromas and flavours of Black Doris plum, dark cherry, cassis, dried fruit, and dark berry compote, layered with fine cacao powder and integrated spicy oak. The palate is supported by a framework of ripe, supple tannins and balanced acidity, making it immediately drinkable with moderate potential for further development under careful cellaring" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, The Real Review
