This wine was incredible. Thought it may have been too young to drink but everyone in our group loved it. Will hold the other bottles to drink in a few years if we can wait that long!

Small barrel lot selection. Optically sorted and barrel fermented before being racked 100% New French oak barrels for 17 months. Decanted. On the nose scents of blackberry, black cherry, plum and cassis are woven with notes of black licorice, herbs, spice, toffee, vanilla, cedar and hints of pastry and floral pastilles. On the palate super-fine tannins, structured acidity and alcohol. Obviously very young and a little tight at this stage, but should age beautifully. Flavors of cassis, dark cherry, plum and blackberry fruits come laced with licorice, spice, vanilla, toffee, floral pastilles and oak. The finish lingers showcasing the purity of the fruit and the fine tannins.

Ripe fruit, liquorice, tobacco, crushed stones on the nose. On the palate quite complex with generous fruit, good acidity, polished tannins. A bit wine, but still very elegant. Very long. 91-92+
