Nose:

Ample self-standing fruits already beginning to yield to other vinous intents …

Cola, grated chocolate and cappuccino dust bind with juniper and spices.

A flash of brown sugar and liquorice – not quite in the Marsala spectrum – instead, brandy impressions replaced by blood orange-rind.

Oak somewhat partially hidden, yet faint scents of cedar and graphite lobby for further bottle maturation.Unabashed (Baby Grange) complexities.

Palate:

Instantly fresh and fleshy. Some overt single-varietal cabernet and shiraz fruits still sit separate… time will unite.

Expected liquorice, stewed plum and blackcurrant, with dark chocolate and mocha in the background. Savoury and salivating – mouth-watering, succulent acidity. This acidity interplays with integrated tannins – coating the mouth and adding length..

Yes, impressive length, with concentration, and a mandatory Bin 389 ‘sweet’ core; oak completely absorbed. Polished and refined.
