Aged in French oak for 12 months. Semi translucent dark red colour with black tinged edges and a light brick red hue. Attractive scents of violets and dark cherries are complexed by faint anise, forest floor, dried herbs and spicy cedar. Supple in its mouthfeel, generous dark cherry and strawberry fruits are intermeshed with forest floor, dried herbs and spicy cedar. Silky tannins finishing with ample power on the long savoury aftertaste.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 13%
15% whole bunches placed at the base of small open fermenters, crushed fruit on top, wild-fermented with daily hand plunging, matured for 12 months in used French oak. Bright hue for age; very good fruit depth, a red cherry, blueberry and damson plum trio, oak and tannins in a pure support role. Has its whole life in front of it. Drink by 2029.
