Elderton 2017 Ode to Lorraine
Black cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant lead the aroma, followed by blackberry and violet. Across the palate, those red and dark fruit notes remain clearly defined, with black tea providing a drier counterpoint. The sequence moves from bright raspberry toward deeper cassis and blackberry. The finish keeps the tea and violet notes in view, leaving fruit and florals closely aligned.
