Let’s just get it out there.  I was well and truly wowed from the first sip.  Just 12 barrels were made of this berry and spice-soaked cabernet crafted by Hugh Crichton and his team.  Stitched together with smoke, caramelised oak and dried thyme, the palate is also awash with juicy, plush and supremely elegant layers of flavour.  There’s something very special in this beautifully structured wine.

Sip with: old fashioned roast beef
