There is an understated elegance to this wine, the nose is mature but not old and shows the impact of time that moves bright red berry fruits to something that is more earthen and complex with undergrowth and faint spice to stewed cherry.

The palate is medium bodied, but builds in both texture and impact across the palate; briary black cherry has influence of autumnal leaves and beautifully integrated oak provides a gentle embellishment of spice. Tannins are fine, but still impactful and give a baking herb aspect to the long finish. A wonderful wine at 10 years old with many years ahead.
