This is stunning; showing varietally expressive notes of cassis, dark plum and dried herb with a spicy oak nuance on the nose. It’s magnificently weighted on the palate exhibiting outstanding depth and substantial mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by fine chalky tannins, making it superbly balanced and structured with a lengthy sophisticated finish. At its best: 2024 to 2038.

Destemmed, open-fermented, 12 days on skins, pressed to new and used French oak for completion of fermentation and maturation, blended after 16 months. There's so much to enjoy here, except for a fox terrier nip on the finish ex tannins.
