Aged in 50% new oak

It offers attractive red cheery, wild strawberry and pastille-like scents on the pure bouquet. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannins. Ther is still commendable depth of fruit and a gentle grip on the persistent finish. Deep ruby. Floral and ripe with blue and black fruits on the nose. Very perfumed. Big and robust on the palate with plenty of structure and ripe tannin that is mouthfilling but ripe and balanced by a ripe core of plum and black cherry. This is full bodied with a real denisty and power, and will need a few years before being ready in bottle.
