Nose little wet dog and bretty not very pleasant, horsehair, with air and 2 hours in decanter develops into aged mushroom and truffle character with black fruits and some spice, palate delicate with dried fruit plum and bramble confit, slightly mushy strawberry, delicate.

Ronan's Testimonials...

“

Ronan Sayburn was one of the first true Sommeliers who welcomed me into Sommellerie over 10 years ago, opening his door to share his knowledge and assist in developing my sommelier skills whilst working in Michelin starred establishments. He has been a direct influence in my professional development and wine studies including national and international sommelier competitions. His willingness to assist and support anyone with a true desire to further themselves in the hospitality industry is effortless, and one which echoes across the UK and abroad through world-wide recognition and respect amongst his peers and leading industry figures.
