TASTING NOTES

Colour
Pillory with garnet edging

Nose
Complex predominance of mineral notes in a background of cherry jam combined with a subtle blend of roasted and smoked background

Palate
Powerful but with a step of silky and well-balanced tannins that make up a final that feels fatty with mineral and candied afterstate
