50% new oak, the rest aged in one- and two-year-old barrels). Red-ruby. Expressive aromas of raspberry, blackberry, smoke, pepper and game. Supple and lush in the mouth, with attractive sweetness and good depth. Lightly gamey. Finishes ripe and persistent. This has turned out well.
Eyes: Dark ruby to black/purple.
Nose: Blackberries, cassis, pepper, tar, coffee. Mouth: Robust with firm tannins softened with age.
