Maturation for 18 months in French oak barrels, of which 35% are new.
Nose of ripe plum, blackberry and blackcurrant, along with dark chocolate, spice, tobacco and hints of dried flowers. Powerful but balanced and approachable on the palate, with powder-fine tannins. Juicy persistence on the finish, with blue fruit, black tea and fine spice.
