Red apple skin, brown sugar, and a whisper of oak give way to raspberry, cranberry, leather, dried flowers, and dried citrus peel.

Beautiful nose and tannins. Dark cherries, raspberries, and earthy spices… Perfect with grilled lamb. Oxidation seemed to be lurking in the wings, so very happy to have opened this bottle in time.

Leather and plum and cola and fall spice. Tar and pipe tobacco with a long finish. Fantastic.
