(2025) Fruit for this comes mostly from the maritime Wilyabrup sub-region. A small proportion spent nine months in new French oak hogsheads and barriques, the remainder in one year and older American and French barriques. Ruby/garnet in colour, there's a ripe plum and mulberry character here, a bit of a fruit compote character with any oak influence in the background. In the mouth lovely sweet and supple black fruit fills the mid-palate, the freshness of the acidity propels it, filled in beneath by some grippy tannin and a hint of cocoa.
