A red fruited number from the north facing Block D site. Raspberry, tobacco leaf and blackberry bush. Oak reins in towers of creeping ivy and cedar. Sandalwood spice and blood plums on the palate. Acidity is strident and elevated. A rosehip and roobios tea leaf bitterness on the finish. Fine boned and lithe. Drinking well now. Serve with mussels in tomato broth and bay leaf.
