One gentle nose of this wine and the full impact of the bouquet is released. Aromas of a bold, oak, nut and rich fruit centered scents from roasted peach to baked grapefruit, burnt butter and oak spices of sweet vanilla and wet clove. Full-bodied, nutty, rich and satin textured on the palate with flavours that mirror the nose, but with even more power and intensity. Spices, warming alcohol, acidity and wood tannins build a solid foundation while the fruit flavours deliver contrast and core energy as well as flavour. A delicious wine, with weight and intensity, length and finesse. Best drinking from 2024 through 2034+.
