The bouquet of this wine has the classic chorus of blueberry, overripe plums, violets, spice, gingerbread and mixed sweet flowers. The palate is soft, plump, creamy and rounded with dominant plums, almost blueberry confection and a note i always notice with every blend i have made – subtle sarsaparilla/cola on the finish with ‘loyal’ but gentle acid, refreshing but balanced that glides on the palate gently til the end like a Sentinel guard on watch …
 
Wine will last 12 years at least. Drink after 1 year for best results.

Nose of red and purple fruit confectionery, plum, cherry, blackberries and even a note of subtle blackcurrant syrup that carry through to the palate with extra notes of plum pudding, dusty cherries, floral pipe tobacco, monte carlo biscuit and fruit leather. Rich acid length with fine, elegant structure and refined tannins. There are no hard edges, just a fine line and length that’s stylish and lingering. Age for 10 years
