Aged 20 months in new and neutral oak barrels giving it just the right amount of oak. Elegant and balanced it exudes wonderful aromas of bright cherry, strawberry and toffee on the nose. Mouth watering flavors jump with cherries, strawberry, rose petal and toasted vanilla beans. A textural mouth feel helps to carry the rich and round tannins that follow through long into the finish.
