Nose: Appealing aromas of cherry and raspberry fruit with a trace of bonfire and floral perfume. A wine that whispers seductively rather than shouts.
Palate: Maraschino cherry, ripe raspberry and rich fruitcake, sprinkled with bold spice and a light peppery nuance. The buoyant fruit is countered by a deeper, loamy forest-floor element, with well-knit oak lending structure and a complex, deliciously persistent finish.
