Sourced from 16 year old vines with 10% whole bunch inclusion and maturation in seasoned French oak barriques for a period of 10 months. Dark red core with black tinged edges and a red to dark red hue. Spicy aromas of dark cherries and wild strawberry intermix with graphite, dried herb, forest floor and dried meat notes. Generously fruited yet restrained in its feel, tightly wound flavours of dark to black cherry and strawberry are framed by graphite like tannins. Some earth, dried herb, smoked meat and spice characters ensue. Bright acidity with a long structured finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
