”Matured 12 months in both American oak (32% new and 29% 1yo) and French hogsheads and puncheons (9% new and 30% 1yo). Marananga parades its depth, density and gloss to full effect. The dry and warm 2019 season builds significant presence of black plum and blackberry fruit, fresh licorice straps and even a spicy fruit compote feel. Firm, fine drying tannins speak both of the season and the house, commanding all the longevity to be expected of both. A powerful if assertive take on Marananga.”
