Colour: Intense, with much dye. High well-defined layer. Cherry red with violet details on the rim. A little more intense than the American oak, for the aging it carries. Glycerin, clean, bright and stunning vibrancy for the time in barrel. Nose: Powerful, something more masculine, with a certain softness, also, in fruit aromas, crisp, very intense and fresh, blackberry and currant, plums, all in compote, very balanced with French oak (coconut, cinnamon, black spice, undergrowth, smoke, tobacco, balsamic), more complex than the other oaks. Good set with alcohol. On the palate: Fruit forward, although dry, very fruity and powerful, but soft tannins, balsamic, fresh tannin and fruity with the sensations of cask touches like cinnamon, coconut, undergrowth, tobacco, liquorice, liquor. Evolution without blunting. Full in the mouth. Long finish. It is at its optimum moment of consumption.

Bottle Orientation - Try and lay your wine or spirit on its side when you can.
Stillness - Try to disturb your bottles as infrequently as possible.
Light Levels - All wine, Needs to be kept out of direct sunlight and away from any potential UV rays.
Humidity - Long-term storage of wine requires a humidity level between 50-85%, as this will also help keep the cork in a good condition.
Temperature - The best temperature for storing red wine is between 10c & 13c. White between 11c & 15c.
Spirits, Brandies & Cognac
Like wine, spirits (especially barrel-aged spirits) benefit from being kept out of sunlight and are best kept in cool conditions to help prevent evaporation.
Like wine,spirits can be stored in quite a range of humidity – around 50–80% relative humidity – and as long as that humidity is constant, the corks shouldn’t expand and contract, and the seal should last. However, the closer to 80% you get, the more likely corks – and labels – will be affected.
We suggest trying to find a happy medium for both wine and spirits to be stored in the same place, with a relative humidity of around 60–70%.
