Flavours fly here and there. There’s nothing lacking about this wine. It feels warmer and bolder than its stated 13.5% alcohol would suggest, though we’re not talking anything excessive here. It’s high on toast and blackberry, jellied raspberry and redcurrant. It was aged in both French and American oak and while the percentage of new oak wasn’t high, it certainly has made an impression: resin, toast and spearmint characters are here in volume. It’s smooth but not overly seductive. I tasted this wine a year ago and used the word “curious”. The word still springs to mind. The other word is “mouthfilling”. That’s apt too.

Aged in French and American oak, a fairly low percentage of which is new. It's a wine of ribald perfume, almost to an exaggerated degree, with apricot, spearmint and jubey, jellied raspberry adding light to ripe plum and dark chocolate notes. Various floral notes only add to the fragrant display. It's a pretty wine, and beautifully structured, but there's an element of curiosity to its style.
