Orpheus & The Raven
“The answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything is 42” – Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In their search for answers to the great questions of life, Orpheus and the Raven’s eyes were opened by the light of the present. But the curious pair knew that beyond the light, the universe had more to offer. “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing, Orpheus,” said the Raven. “Then the answer to the ultimate question is obviously 42!” replied Orpheus in delight.
Description
It shows a bright, deep ruby colour with a subtle red sheen, immediately inviting and assured. The nose is expressive and layered, offering dark fruit at the core; mulberry, blackcurrant and ripe plum lifted by floral notes of violet and framed with gentle spice. Hints of tomato leaf and tobacco add depth, while a fresh lift brings balance and clarity. On the palate, the wine is generous and mouth-filling, yet shaped by fresh acidity and smooth, rounded tannins. Dark fruit carries through with confidence, supported by a velvety, seamless texture on the back palate.There is intensity without heaviness, richness without excess. The finish is long, balanced and persistent a wine that feels complete, composed and true to its name. Well balanced with an eternal finish.
