Only 600 bottles made from a 1.5-acre block planted in the 1980s, this saw 24 months of elevage in second-fill French oak. A medium ruby with a hint of garnet appearance. It leads with upfront notes of pickling spice/dried dill, pickled cherry and beetroot. The palate’s frame is made up of medium-plus acidity, extract, a crescendo of tannins and body. It is extra dry, with a nice length and intensity of raspberry leaf, pickled beet and cherry notes towards a medium-plus finish. 2024-2028–IR
