Semi translucent bright dark red colour with a crimson red hue. Aromas of red raspberries and red cherries subtlety infused with liquorice are followed by some faint earth and spicy dried herb end notes. Light weight with delicious ripe red raspberry and plum flavours running across the palate and hints of liquorice and spicy dried herb infusions acting as an undercurrent. Finishes fresh with well integrated tannins. Good length with a lively ripe red raspberry, plum juice, subtle liquorice and spice aftertaste.

Other Reviews….
Light, bright and clear, not much deeper than some roses. A spicy, fresh blend of grenache and cinsaut, which has altogether surprising length and tenacity. Oak? Maybe yes, maybe no. But if yes, it’s well worn. Drink by 2020.
