Tasted by: Stephen Brook, Margaret Rand, Steven Spurrier
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2023
A wonderful dense palate with some savoury prune stewed with Earl Grey tea. Concentrated, ripe and velvety with black fruit, blueberry and spice flavour and great acidity. Creamy and sophisticated new oak, would suit game.
