Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Open the bottle and you get a burst of dark fruits and toffee. Burnt spun sugar, cantaloupe melon, some herbal notes of oregano and thyme. Polished mahogany leads to strawberries and poached plums with charred oak. Simply stunning.

Palate: Incredibly smooth and delicious. Icing sugar, vanilla toffee creams, melon and grapefruits. More of the barrel char balances with summer berries and creamy toffee.

Finish: Cabernet Sauvignon, silky and smooth, long and luxurious with balanced oak.
