Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Ripe red berries and red licorice on the fresh nose. A sweet, fine-grained fruit bomb in the mouth, displaying an almost exotic ripeness to its flavors of raspberry, strawberry and spices. For all its sweetness, this shows good reserve and finesse on the back end. Owing to its tannic clout, I would not be at all surprised if this shut down in the bottle.

Sweet oak and savoury fruit – always a welcome combination – and a whole bunch stemminess too. Dry, grainy tannin. Light body. Lovely flavours, but a little insubstantial on the palate. (RH)
Good bright medium red. Musky aromas of raspberry and strawberry. Sweet red fruit flavors show excellent precision and freshness, with a note of blood orange adding lift. Juicy, energetic wine with lovely balance and a suave dusting of tannins.
