Signature

There are notes of menthol and a touch of eucalyptus that adds a fresh counter point to the dark brooding fruit, typical of this vintage. Warm oak notes add gravitas and a luxurious attraction to the nose. It leads to a palate that teams with rich fruit and notes of cherry tobacco, with a further herbal edge and grippy lead pencil on the finish. A touch leaner than other vintages, the wine is nonetheless sumptuous, with dry defined tannins and a silky yet serious end. It will require a year or so for the lick of oak to amalgamate.
