Written Notes

18 months in Frenh oak and 18 months in bottle. No filtration. pH 3.44, TA 6.3 g/l.
Deep black cherry colour. Fragrant, restrained dark-fruit aromas and a delicate peppery spice plus something darker and almost tarry. A complex aroma. Powerful and concentrated and yet does not lose its freshness so that the finish is mouthwatering and moreish. Dense, smooth, chocolatey tannins (flavour and texture). One for the long haul although it is already balanced and harmonious.
