ABV: 13.5%
Closure: Stelvin
Aged in a mixture of new and old French oak barriques. Semi translucent dark red colour with a light red hue. Perfumed scents of violets, ripe cherries and strawberries meld into anise, hints of toasty oak, traces of forest floor and spice notes. Light and expressive the palate has flavours of ripe dark cherries and strawberries which are carried by anise, light smoky cedar, forest floor and spicy dried herb elements. Supple mouthfeel, silky tannins and well balanced acidity concluding with good power.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%
A slightly stricter release than previous and in this case, a positive step. The seamless integration of strawberry-plum fruit with creamy oak; the way acidity exposes autumn leaf characters to the sun; the way tartness makes fruit sweetness seem sophisticated. It's a wine in excellent form. Drink by 2024.
