Clear and Bright, Pale Lemon hue. Vanilla pod and cream to start on the nose but drops quickly to sharp stone fruits. Creamy and full on the palate. Good acidity, quite oily. Ripe peach fruit.
Intense with a purple hue. Brambles and blood on the now with a herby note, a touch of clove. Quite tannic but ripe. Lush fruit with brambles and herbs following through.
Intense with no sign of ageing. Stewed plum pudding on the nose with some sweet cinnamon spice. Plums and sweet fruit on the palate. Quite tannic. Still young.
