Tasting notes
Fresh lively purple, very fruit forward yet with a savoury touch. Firm tannins, rich ripe fruit, the two sides are still to marry up, but they should. Good length here.

Cask s ample. Pure redcurrant and cherry fruit, a little dark chocolate and black olive emerging already, and well-integrated sweet oak spice for contrast. Intense and lengthy but nowhere near ready. (RH)
