The 2020 Paper Street The Narrator wafts up with a seductive bouquet, blending crushed blackberries with a dusting of spice and sweet, minty herbs. This is round and supple on the palate, soothing with its ripe black fruits. Tantalizing acidity maintains a lovely freshness. It finishes spicy, long, lightly tannic and with a tart wild berry concentration.
