Profile
The 2016 shows off the amazing quality fruit they are working with (meticulously) to achieve ripeness, power and vibrancy. At 5 years old, the 50% new oak has integrated into the profile of juicy plums, plump blueberries and liquorice spice. It’s a balanced wine with silky tannins and a long mineral finish. Not much of this wine was made, let alone imported to Singapore - so best move fast!
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.
