Sample
A dense and deep colour, especially given the wine is already 4 years old ! The nose shows concentration of plum, cedar and blackberry with a touch of alcohol warmth. Medium to full bodied with a considered tannin structure that is firm but provides a savoury edge to tightly bound dark berry fruits. Oak feigns richness with a subtle saline note and good length to finish.
