Varietal, ripe, fruity and developing bouquet with scents of blackcurrant and dark cherry, plum and a brambly baking spice quality. Youthful textures touch the palate first then flavours of ripe and trat berries, a savoury spice quality with hay, dried herb and then nut. Some smoke from French oaks adds breadth and length. Varietal, texture and developing expression with best drinking from 2024 through 3032+.
