The 2020 ‘Audere’ Red Blend is a success in this vintage. As this slowly unwinds in the glass it begins to release aromas black cherries, cassis and hints of black raspberries which are accented by spices, roasted coffee, wild herbs, iron and hints of licorice. On the palate this possesses a full body with a nicely structured backbone, supported by well-integrated tannins that are round and velvety. This goes on to display notable concentration with an expressive character, showing plenty of dark cherries, spices, iron and a touches of crushed gravel that take it through the finish. The 2020 ‘Audere’ will be open for business on release but should also offer a drinking window that could span over a decade. This evolves beautifully with air, so be sure to allow it some time in the decanter if approaching on release.
