Nose
A beautiful bouquet of red liquorice, black tea, and blackberry briar spill immediately out of the glass with subtle hints of sun-dried wild herbs.
Palate
The finely textured palate exudes rich forest fruits with a light wash of baking spices and ginger snap. Spirited but not wild, sumptuous without being wantonly luxurious. The usage of seasoned oak puncheons and barriques cradle the supple fruit through to a long finish.
