The wine shows a deep purple colour in the glass. A heady combination of cocoa, dark chocolate, rhubarb, cardamom and tobacco leaf on the nose. The palate displays a plethora of savoury characteristics, including pine nuts, coffee beans and chilli flakes. The wood integration is exceptional, expressing waves of vanilla and sandalwood that builds into a long, lingering finish. A beautiful, chalky tannin and a balanced acidity make for a brilliant wine. It will continue to develop superbly over the next 5-7 years.
