Tasting notes
The 2015 Series C was aged for 22 months in 67% new French oak barrels. It offers a combination of red and black fruit on the nose, plus hints of dark chocolate, tobacco and vanilla pod and a floral component in the background. The pure, well-balanced palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine line of acidity and a precise, quite sustained finish. This is an excellent Series C that should age well over the next two decades.
