Translucent bright crimson cherry red colour with mauve hue. The nose is a little subdued at first with aromas of violets, dark cherry, spice and cedar emerging as the wine gradually warms. Light to medium weight, the palate displays flavours of cherry, raspberry and spice. Good length with fine grained, slightly dry but balanced tannins. Aftertaste of spicy cherry, cedar and a hint of toast.

Other Reviews….
Light, bright crimson; the complex bouquet offers plum and red cherry against a backdrop of spice and a veneer of toasty oak; the palate is bright and fresh, carrying the same fruit flavours, here set against foresty/savoury notes. Screwcap.
