This richly flavorful red has aromas of chocolate cherries, sandalwood, balsamic and sweet spices. It’s full-bodied, broad and creamy with chalky tannins. Ripe, bold and concentrated. Drink from 2027.
Ambitious, damson, black cherry, liquorice, black chocolate, red pepper, spice, it has impact and silky tannins, a little overwrought. Clay and limestone soils for this 5ha vineyard, 100% new oak.
Flowers and leafy herbs combine with sweet, ripe, red and black pit fruits to produce an elegant, soft, polished, medium-bodied, supple wine with sweetness, freshness, and good energy in the spice, accented, fruity finish. This should be delicious on release and provide pleasure for over a decade with ease. The wine blends 75% Merlot with 25% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2037.
