“A juicy and fruity red with blackberry and some dark chocolate and graphite character. Lead pencil, too. Medium-bodied with creamy and integrated tannins and a juicy finish. Savory and delicious. Some iodine.” James Suckling.com

Lifted vibrant red fruits, with underlying notes of liquorice, cinnamon and and hint of smokey oak. Generous, velvety layers of red and black fruits, hints of savoury spice and gentle tannins finishing very long and pure.
