Nose
There are attractive aromas of dark cherry, eucolypt, ironstone, tar and roses with hints of cured meat, prune and truffle.
Palate
Intense sour cherry, dark fruits, black olive, rosemary, bitter chocolate and green plum skin with typical and confronting fine dry Nebbiolo tannin. The palate is long and savoury with a black cherry aftertaste and noticeable tannin grip. A great compliment to Mediterranean food
Growing Conditions
A slightly warmer than usual vintage with a very dry spring and harvest commencing a week early.
Winemaking
6 year old French oak barriques
Appearance
Classic Nebbiolo colour – moderate intensity red with a rusty red hue.
