Aged 18 months in 25% new French oak, it offers lots of classic black cherry and chocolatey currant fruits as well as notes of leafy herbs and tobacco. Rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully polished, it's another beautiful, elegant wine from this estate that does everything right.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDried cedar with chocolate, iodine and black fruit.

The medium to full-bodied palate has some strict tannins that grip with complexity across the mid-palate. The tight core is well-balanced, with a seamless expression of soft, dusty cherry skin and black plum essence that lingers long on the finish. If you haven't tried this wine, it's time to give it a try!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE92\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe aromas are reticent, opening to reveal appealing notes of fresh and dried herbs. Lighter-styled chocolate and coffee flavors follow, fleshing out with time open. At present it's hard to get at, but there is a lovely sense of freshness to it and good stuffing that augurs well for its future.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlush and elegantly expressive, with black cherry, sweet anise and espresso flavors that glide toward polished tannins.
