It sees nine months in French oak. Dark cherries and dark plums kick things off, all laced with silky dark chocolate feels. Tight on opening, it worked its way into a neat groove. Puffs of dirt road earthiness, pencil shavings, dried herbs and black pepper ride long with a spicy close highlighted by a little red apple acid sizzle. Give it a decant or hold - you choose. Smart stuff from Alan Varney once again.
