Deep garnet with brick edges. Layered nose with earthiness, cherries, forest floor, a touch dirty and a bit of dry sweet spices. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Quite surprised with the power this still has, needed an hour or two in the glass to open up. Solid acidity with some aged complexity on the palate. Layers of earthiness, dried red cherries, red currants, dried herbs, damp leaves, a little musty and tobacco leaves. Long and lingering finish.

Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 24 months in 45% new French oak barrel. Also a small portion of American oak.
