Nose

Intense red fruit, earth, graphite, aniseed

Palate

Bold, wild brambly fruit, ferrous, significant yet velvety tannin.

Harvest

Despite a cool start to spring, flowering and fruit set were even across all varieties. November heralded the beginning of a glorious run of weather. Days were warm but never hot, and temperatures dropped nicely into the evenings, allowing gradual ripening and acid retention in the grapes.
