Nose: A gentle floral nuance and a subtle herb note on a ripe plum and black cherry nose.
Palate: The entry is textural: warm, rounded, soft and enveloping. Rich black cherry, mature plum and fruitcake flavours mingle with a lighter spice element, with structured oak lending form and backbone without letting the tannins dominate. Fresh and succulent, with a polished smoothness and a rewardingly long finish.
