Nick Butler
Medium-weight, translucent crimson colour. A complex mix of spicy, leafy aromas and just-ripe blackcurrant fruit. Dark soy and cedary oak. Finely-boned and elegant, oak and grape tannin meld very well with black and blue berries. A quiet aristocracy to it.

88 Points James Halliday
Machine-harvested, 10-20% whole berries, open and closed fermenters, 14 days on skins, 18 months in oak (60% old French, 30% old American plus 10% new oak staves). Why so long? Drink to 2024.
