Drinking Window: 2020 - 2030
A blend of 10 estate blocks up to 70 years old (multiple soils, clones and vines), some with extended maceration, matured for 17 months in French (70%) and American oak hogsheads, 20% new. A grind of pepper on top of generous, creamy blackberry and mulberry fruit, with mocha notes and a savoury frame of ripe but present, textural, earthy tannins. Satisfying and good value.
