10% whole bunches used with the rest made up of whole berries. Matured in seasoned puncheons and stainless steel. Iron rusted rock, redcurrant and lingonberries. Scuffed sandstone, Earl grey tea and miso. A seamless palate from start to its very long peacock tail finish. Filled with fruit, Moroccan spice and a silk thread of tannins. Glimmering with sun kissed berries and a willowy elongated flicker of acidity. Beautifully poised, this will age very well, say another 12 years or so. Drink with pink flesh game meats or bacon and rabbit stew.
