Nose: |
A rich opulent nose showing layers of black cherry, spice and fruits of the forest. In the background there is some lovely mocha and a hint of earthy tobacco. |

Dark rich fruits like blackberries leading to fruit cake. Subtle mint. Firm tannins to finish. |

The wine received two years in barrel, 30% new French oak and then two years in bottle before release |

This limited release is rich and opulent in its varietal fruit expression. Approachable now yet will develop in complexity with cellaring. |

Will reward with careful cellaring through to 2032 |
