AR | Medium ruby in colour, this is pleasantly spicy and cherryish in colour, and when it comes to the tasting, there's a certain amount of bright raspberry and cherry fruit on the mid-palate, but sustained for only so long, before turning to savoury, the main positive element being a pleasant juiciness of texture that makes this wine pleasingly approachable.

MP | Simple nose offering tinned strawberry, raspberry, liquorice, cedar, clove, ginger, tobacco and wet leaves. In the mouth this offers a huge diversity of primary and secondary flavours suggesting that the oak is well-played and supports the fruit. This shows fine persistence with gently drying tannins supporting ripe fruit layering cherry, berry and currant over vanilla, cedar and liquorice. One for the cellar. Drink Dates: 2028 - 2035. 95
