Colour: Expressive and rich range of colours. Well-dressed, with abundant colour, clean, bright (good acidity, better than other years) with indigo details, pronounced, in the rim. High layer, good purple colour (intense), perhaps excessive for a young wine. Nose: Freshness is the word given that it has maintained good acidity. Tones of sweet tannins and perfectly ripe black and red fruit. Intense vinous character, but without bluntness. Balance between hints of black and red fruit, with some spicy notes. Fresh hints of mineral and cinnamon, vanilla and cocoa (new or semi-new barrels), perhaps some caramel. Palate: Dry fruit forward, but fruity, expressive, blackberry and black plum tones return, some black currant (in the mouth) perhaps a soft tannin and a little less body than in previous years, without forgetting the fruit, enveloping, intense in the mid palate, with some alcoholic bluntness well compensated with the tannin and the slight oak. Given its texture, we believe that it will keep its qualities for a few years. Total Sulphur free.

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%.
