A medium rich ruby red appearance with a dark centre. The aromatic nose is of ripe juicy red fruit mixed with notes of dark cherry, christmas pudding, green and white peppercorns, plum and boiled rhubarb notes. The palate is easy drinking ripe and juicy dominated by a mix of red berries and savoury characters with lovely soft tannins and a edge of acidity which complements the dry liquorice and herbal notes. Its softness, balance of fruit weight and fruit tannins means it is drinking wonderfully now. The more it opens up the more dark rich concentrated fruit characters evolve.
