This opened up beautifully over the course of a few hours. It’s warm and intense but structured and long. It’s plummy and blackberried, chocolatey and minorly spicy. There’s a small amount of gumleaf but its rich, oozing, plum-shot heart is the dominant feature. Hay-like, toasty oak makes a welcome, positive appearance and so too does tarry heat. Soft folds of tannin assert their control on the finish. Beautiful wine in its style.

A little reduction, but very good concentration of fruit; dark plum, spice, blackberry and tar; the palate is multilayered and abounds with a dark fruit core; chewy and long, with ironstone on the finish.
