The medium-high intensity nose is fragrant & open with attractive aromas of leafy grilled herbs, red & black fruits, currant, cherry, cassis & fine wood spice with touches of mint and savoury earth. It's full-bodied, ripe & dry with lovely red and black fruited cherry, currant, cassis, mint, and leafy herb flavours on the palate. It's well-structured with fresh, juicy acidity and ripe, structured, and fine-grained tannins that are youthful and a touch grippy. More savoury with earth and wood spice notes on the mid-palate, which linger through to the long, gently smoky finish. Tasted Dec. 2023.
