Note di degustazione
The 2018 Black Knight has a fantastic nose full of complementary and contrasting aromas – dry, peppery spice from some high-quality oak, cured meat, earthy notes, blackberry fruit and smoky tones. This wine has a wonderful ability to bring structure and depth to the blackberry and strawberry flavours. The fruit clarity is notable in the 2018 and the garrigue, earthy, savoury spice adds complexity. Give this a few years in bottle for the tannins to meld with the fruit and this is going to be stunning.

Full bottle 1,342 g. Certified organic (Ecocert) and biodynamic (Demeter). Aged in French oak for 22 months. A dark, savoury nose that presses into a dark savoury palate. Really meaty! This is saucisson and barbecue smoke on an autumn night. It's the burnt edges of plum pie and a touch of dried beef, game pie and raspberries and bay leaves and tea. It's full of tang and muscle. It's hard-work-sweat salty, like licking the dusty lips of someone who's been working in the sun and on the land all day. It's raw and real and stubborn, and the tannins are rugged and devil-may-care, but there is this wonderful tenderness at the very heart of the wine. Minervois down to the last molecule.
