(at One Great George Street, Westminster, 13 Mar 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2021
This sweet, mid-weight red has a good intensity of cherry jam and blackcurrant fruit flavours accompanied by vanilla and black pepper tones from nearly a year spent in oak before bottling. It has a long, but simple, finish and is deliciously succulent.
