Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.

Series M 2020 is the culmination of nature and nurture; a symphony of the senses. This harmonious blend combines plummy hues with an inky, garnet red colour. Offering warm vanilla, ripe raspberry and Asian plum aromas on entry; this focused and pure rendition of Series M deepens to pencil lead, a terracotta earthen character and delicate pressed violets when afforded greater airtime. Beautifully nuanced in its measured energy, the palate is fresh and elegant, graceful and complete. Seductively smooth on entry, swelling in intensity with a succulent core and culminating in a soft, round finish full of sour cherry and chocolate. Tannins are multi-layered, polished and lithe, adding to the balanced structure. Although immediately engaging, this blend requires time to express full concentration, and will mature most gracefully, rewarding the patient collector. Twenty-one months in twenty-three percent new French oak barrique, with the balance in older French oak. Series M 2017 consists of Merlot (forty-two percent), Malbec (thirty-nine percent), and Cabernet Sauvignon (nineteen percent). Seventy-nine barrels were produced.
