Tasting Notes
Colour and condition: Deep ruby hue; bright condition. Nose: A rich, concentrated nose. The fruit aromas are complex combination of strawberries, cherries, beetroot and quince jelly, combined with cinnamon and barbecue spices. In the background are light fragrances of charry, toasty oak. Palate: The palate is an interesting combination of cherry-like dark fruits and plums, mixed with strawberry jam and charry, spicy oak. The mouthfeel is generous with full body and soft, round tannins.
Cellaring Notes
With this structure and generosity of fruit it is a tremendous aging prospect and will develop interesting bottle complexity over the next 10 years and should continue to age well for at least 10 years after that.
