Top Notes For
Andrew Cullimore

Medium ruby with a medium wide quite light ruby garnet rim . Ripe spiced cherries , dried sage and thyme, black tea and earthy notes , touch of high toned volatility too. On the palate this is quite bright and red fruit focused , with spiced cherries , red plum , fresh herbs. Quite high refreshing acidity and slightly gritty tannins, balanced alcohol , with pretty decent , stony , red fruit tinged length . Certainly characterful and true to origin . Needs a couple of years but promising, perhaps come back in 5-8 years time for the best experience.
