Tasting note
Aged in French oak, from the Casablanca Valley. Beautifully ripe green bean and fig aromas, with lots of creamy, cashew nut and oatmeal creaminess. The palate has ripeness and richness, with a big nutty character and plenty of cut and zest. There's a lot of phenolic grip here too. The broad, pithy orange and grapefruit acidity makes this very food-friendly and savoury.
