Seeing French oak for 16 months (30% new), an attractive perfume of blueberries, boysenberries and purple flowers launches at you.
Smooth with bevelled edges, this is such a delicious and approachable drink. It possesses a shy persona but develops the confidence to come forward with time. There is an impressive flow highlighted by blackcurrant and plummy fruit with well-handled oak playing a supporting role. Add some tomato leaf, dried thyme and black olives and you have yourself a more than pleasurable cool climate red wine on your hands. Beautiful!
Drink to eight years.
