Fresh, medium-high to highly aromatic nose exudes elegance with ripe red & black fruits, strawberry, cassis, red currant, wood spices & black cherry aromas, plus savoury cocoa and clove adding further complexity. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate it has an elegant mouthfeel & ripe, fine-grained tannins which support the ripe black cherry, currant, cassis, bright red berry, strawberry, and raspberry flavours accented by fine oak spice. Acids are juicy and well-balanced, with a slight tangy red berry character. Savoury, earthy notes linger on the very long & smooth finish. Tasted Oct. 2024.
