Nose

Opens with toasty oak, vanilla and natural caramel, followed by sun dried grape, sultana and hints of red berries. A herbal graininess adds freshness and with time hints of spice appear.

Palate

Soft, butter toffee oak with grainy dried fruit and winey red fruit. Bitter spices but the graininess adds balance. \n

Finish

Good length. Intense and vibrant. A little austere with grain and red fruits. \n

Comment

A vatted grain? It certainly exhibits youth and maturity and possibly wine finished. Either way it’s very enjoyable.
