Sample
The 30% new French Oak gives a floral prettiness to the nose with a smokey rhone like edge to the dark berry fruits. There is a continuation of the smokey, undergrowth thing going on which would suggest some whole bunch, it gives an interesting baseline to the wine that has a leather and earth aspect. Tannins are supple and expansive, filling all corners of the mouth and oak showing itself through mocha flavours. A long, generous finish.
