Fruit is predominantly from Spring Lane Block planted in 1988. Matured in French oak barriques for 18 months of which 20% were new oak. Blackberries, kirsch and pencil box, some clove and bay leaf. Fruit moves into more of the red spectrum on the palate, genial and attractive with morsels of cassis. This is drinking well on release and as always has the ability to age another 8-12 years further. I tend to enjoy it best at around 6 years, the old school spice melting into the red and black fruit in harmony and some mocha character coming through. Drink with black pepper crusted lamb cutlets.
