Nose

Very shy, takes its time to open, but then you get bags of fruits, orange and lemons and a sharp tang of red currants. Black treacle too and an earthy note – a fresh ploughed field on the drive to work.

Palate

Huge rich and juicy straight off. All the fruits are here, orange, cherry, blueberries and a little cider edge too. There oak is here, creamy vanilla and roasted vanilla seeds.

Finish

The oak makes itself know, a little drying with dark fruits.

Comment

When it opens out it doesn’t stop. Give it time and it will reward you.
