Drinking Window: 2016 - 2017
Meaty nose lifted by bright mineral notes and a hint of thyme. Rounded and succulent in the mouth with sweetly ripe black fruit lending appealing silkiness. Light on its feet as it skips towards a fresh finish.

Hints of bay leaf and eucalypt, with more of the red fruit character kicking in en bouche. Has enough body for roast beef dinner.
