Tom's tasting notes:
Very dark red purple this is loaded with kirsch mulberry and cherry kernel lifted and quite punchy fruit there is some lovely spice and oak and deeply concentrated fruit, the oak sits well and gives a lovely sheen to the fruit.

Palate has quite a lot of volume and intensity, very silky tannins laden with cherry fruit, it super bright and classy effort, long fine with a solid styurcture to see many years in the cellar.
