Nose
Wonderful brambly fruit with beautifully integrated cedar, hard to decipher from a complex array of fruit characters and secondary cigar box and chocolate notes. Fermentation in barrel fermenters has added an extra dimension to this.
Palate
Seamless, rich and long; the palate is impeccably balanced, with a beautifully rich feel and a controlled moderate weight that runs from front to back and finished long with chewy fine tannins. This is an amazing drink now and should blossom over the medium term.
