Description

The wine has bright magenta colour and aromas and flavours of red berry conserve, spiciness and the complexity given by 12 months American oak maturation. The palate is full and soft in front and middle with flavour of small berry fruit and again the oak compeimenting the fruit. The finish is medium firm with tannins coming from both fruit and oak. The wine has not been cold stabilized and so may form a harmless crystalline deposit in the bottle necessitating decanting before serving. This wine has power and finesse which makes it both approachable now and worth keeping for up to 10 years in good conditions.
