A vibrant and youthful dark red in colour, the nose shows complex wild yeast aromas with blackberry and supporting background oak.
The palate is tightly bound, and with time unravels layers of dark fruits with a smattering of pepper. The wine has a dense tannin structure that is amply supported by concentrated fruit.
There are some subtle spices and aniseed characters with flashes of dark chocolate that combine with leathery plum on the substantial finish.
This is a wine with a long future ahead of it, even though it is drinking very well now.
Only 280 cases produced.
