Aromas of toast,
grilled herb and red berry lead the nose along with a whiff of fresh mint. The
palate is still primary; offering bright Morello cherry, white pepper, anise,
clove and hint of tobacco while a dried sage note closes the finish. Bracing
tannins and brisk acidity provide the framework. Drink after 2020.

This opens with
aromas of toast, oak and a whiff of coffee. The palate is still rather closed
but eventually reveals raw cherry, anise, clove and ground pepper accompanied
by bracing tannins and racy acidity. A note of dried sage closes the finish.
