Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby red with purple hues. Fresh, sweet ripe lifted black fruit - cassis, blackcurrant, damsons. Looking deeper you see a red fruit lift - raspberry and black cherry, hints of vanilla and a touch of pencil lead. The palate is lively, fresh and very much medium weight. Blue and black fruits cascade across the palate, the tannins soft, ripe and refined with just a hint of gravel or iron stone leaving a savoury, lip smacking finish.
Vintage Notes
A long, late and cool growing season with very low crops delivering wines with exceptional flavour, freshness and balance.
