Drinking Window: 2020 - 2023
Aged for 18 months in new American oak and then six months in bottle before release; a richly spiced and savoury style, with firm, grainy tannins. The black fruit is enlivened with brighter touches of redcurrant and fresh acidity. Lovely aromas of cassis, spice, a touch of earthiness and autumnal berries.
