The Story

Blend: Grenache, Syrah, Petite Sirah

Ageing: 10 months in a combination of new and seasoned French Oak, 35% new.

Alcohol: 15.1%

Notes: As soon as a glass is poured, aromatic notes of Luxardo cherries, ripe black plums and raspberries billow, with intricate hints of coffee, mocha and caramel in the background. The entry is expansive with dark briar fruits, cola and cocoa with tannins that are soft and dusty. The wine finishes with a hint of wild cherry and a lingering sweet oak presence.

Written Notes

Dark, intense ruby red colour with purple tints. Rich, opulent and charming nose with toasty, chocolate, violets and spicy bramble aromas. Full-bodied, rich and round palate with silky smooth texture, ripe tannins and harmoniously jammy black fruit with lovely spiciness. Long velvety finish. A flamboyant wine. JL 95p (9/2018)
