Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-gold highlights and a wine-kissed mahogany edge.
Nose
Ripe red fruits—blackberry, plum, and cherry—are lifted by fig and red-wine perfume. Vanilla, clove, and a whisper of pepper weave with polished oak. The St Joseph wine cask lends a wine-soft, velvety sweetness, creating a warm, fruit-forward nose with subtle spice and light toasted notes.
Palate
Silky, fruit-forward palate with red-wine richness from the St Joseph cask: blackberry, plum and cherry ride vanilla, toasted oak and a whisper of spice. Velvet tannins give gentle grip, leading to a long, refined finish with cocoa and fruit lingering.
Finish
Long, wine-kissed finish with red-berry depth—blackberry, cherry and plum weave with subtle vanilla and cocoa. Gentle spice and fine tannins linger, delivering a polished, dry warmth that echoes the St Joseph cask influence.
