The medium to medium-high intensity nose is fresh with sweet wood spices and ripe red cherry aromatics, plus hints of rose floral, cinnamon, and baking spice. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate it has smooth, elegant tannins and very good, juicy acidity, which supports the lovely aroma replays. It has a very nice, structured mid-palate, along with some grippy texture. More savoury with earthy notes on the long, satisfying finish. Tasted May 2025.
