Top Notes For
Andrew Cullimore

Medium deep ruby with pink rim . Quite crunchy mix of summer fruits , strawberry , raspberry and touch of dark cherry , touches of violet and also slight toastiness from the oak . On the palate quite strict acidity and slightly gritty but ripe tannin , with nice fresh fruits from the nose , strawberry , dark cherry and raspberry with some black currant and a hint of wood spice. Decent length and balance , this shows pretty young and will need a little time to integrate , but is promising. Good intensity, fills out well on the palate with no lack of freshness, balanced alcohol . Better in 2-3 years and will last well a further 5-10
