Complex and alluring bouquet of dark berry fruits: a melange of plum, violets, spice, tobacco leaf, cedar, earth with a light, perfumed cherry blossom nuance. Velvety smooth entry. The wine is all about texture: silky, supple and pliable it glides over the tongue. Understated spicy cedar underpins the juicy succulence and rounded, ripe, plush dark berry and plum fruit flavour. Super appealing structure and composition or mouthfeel, much of which can be attributed to the unobtrusive yet elegantly harmonious oak used in its maturation. Layered, poised and deliciouslyrewarding, it lingers on the palate.
Melon, nectarine and white peach with a light dusting of flint on the nose. Deliciously tangy and succulent on entry. Refreshing summer fruit salad with the melon and stone fruit joined by a lively green apple crunchiness. Vibrant, perky and zippy with bright, acidic citrus notes. Ideal for summertime lunches.
Appealing cherry and spice with light tendrils of smoke on the bouquet. The palate delivers more of the cherry typicity, dark and inviting, with inky depth offset by succulence. Composed and balanced with that lively acid freshness, generous fruit flavour and structure adding to its appeal. Pliable and supple, it has well integrated fine dry tannins in support. Long and rewarding.
The aroma of fresh green and ripe olives, ripe tomato, walnut and pine seed are found upfront. The piquancy is balanced and fades to leave a pleasant aftertaste.
