Top Notes For

2015 vintage.
Bright ruby red in the glass.
Violets, ripe cherry, leather, red plums, cassis and underbrush.
Well integrated tannins with crisp acidity on the earthy finish.
Very nice.
This will age beautifully and be a fantastic brother to 2016 vintage.

Cherries, bramble, dust and leather. Medium to full with mellow and pleasant acidity and integrated tannin. This wine made everyone sit up and say “wow”.
