Tasting Notes
Deep, sustained, licorice, pepper and tar nose. Superb flavours of red fruits, leather, cedar and spice soft and elegant yet leading to a complex layer of concentrated fruit and round tannins. Powerful, yet delicate and complex, the blend of sites is like a magic carpet, beautifully knitted together yet ready to take you on an epic journey. A heavy framed wine yet with plenty of fruit to balance the structure. Exemplary concentration and length.

Dark intense red colour to rim. Fantastic nose, framboise, madagascar spices, cherries in chocolate, liquorice, dried herb and vanilla. In the mouth this has a suppleness that invades every corner of the palate bringing layers of textures and flavours which combine and change repeatedly. This enormous complexity is delivered with proud elegance and style. This is beautiful precision winemaking which allows the wine to do the talking. Amazing stuff.

Deepish red colour with brick-red rim. Raisiny bouquet with super-ripe fruitcake notes, the palate smooth and fleshy, the palate is dense and quite lovely, with lots of roasting pan and fruitcake matured complexities.
