Medium red in colour, the nose has decisively classy oak characters with understated blackberry fruit.
The palate expresses complex wine making, with savoury structure and wine maker derived complexity more dominant than ripe primary fruit.
The wine has stemmy blackcurrant, astringent tannins and coffee oak on the mid to back palate with a stem and earth dominant finish.
It will be interesting to see where this wine heads over time.
