Tasting Notes

Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Minerals and spice on the nose over sweet, ripe cherry fruit. Elegant, supple and lively sour-cherry fruit with a nice tannic chew on the finish. Deep and long. 2022-2034

Attractive nose. Hint of eucalypt and spice with very finely tuned tannins. Texturally this is sublime – it is backed up by really good fruit and Christmas spice. A juicy long finish – impressive. 2022-2028

A lovely shade of garnet. Juicy red cherry fruit on the nose and on the palate. Quite powerful initially but good acidity - it all melts into an elegant finish. Punches well above its weight.
