Bouquet
A generous, complex and seductive bouquet, showing strong aromatics. There are both red and black fruits – red and black cherry, plums. Lots of secondary characters – dried flowers, chocolate, some white pepper, earthy, toasty oak, hint of tobacco and cigar box.

Palate
Speaks of Pinot Noir and place. Dancing acidity, lots of fine powdery tannins and savoury fruit. The complexity of the bouquet flows through into the palate, supported by integrated oak, to give a long, lingering finish.

Cellaring
A complex aromatic Pinot Noir with loads of primary and secondary layers. While drinking well now, the components are still integrating and developing further, thus will benefit from further time in bottle: eight to ten years, probably more.

• Alcohol: 13.7%
• Closure: Screw cap
• Maturation: 20 months in 100% French oak (32% new).

How is this drinking now?
Red cherries with positive secondary notes of brambles and undergrowth bringing the complexity. Striking structure and length for its age. Drink 2020-2024.
