Slightly hazy semi translucent dark red colour with a crimson red hue. The nose displays good fragrance with violet top notes intertwined with red cherries, strawberries and hints of sour cherries followed by some stalky cedar and spicy herb notes. Light and fresh yet nicely textured, flavours of red cherry and strawberry show good intensity. Nuances of sour cherries, subtle dried herbs, stalky cedar and spice ensue. Vivid acidity with perfectly integrated finely grained tannins. Ends with a persistent finish of red cherries, strawberries, sour cherries, stalky cedar and spicy herb infusions.

Other Reviews…
Plenty of capsicum and piquant spice here, with ripe and fresh red fruits, and a light coverlet of sweet oak. Light and fresh, all sappy, spicy and strawberried, with clean lines, ripe tomato acidity, and a playful lick of tannin. Good finish. Nervy and energetic. Like this. Drink 2017-2028.
