Tasting Notes

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A lovely wine, ripe and varietal, a core of black berry fruits and herbs, there’s a touch of black olive and boot polish then clove and vanilla spices from barrel. Youthful and complex. A dry wine on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet, plenty of tannins with a range of textures from fluffy to dusty, firm and polished. The acid line and tannins frame the core fruits flavours nicely with an overall velvet mouthfeel and medium+ length. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2032."
The winery writes "A fragrant medley of crushed red berry fruits fills thenose, accompanied by scented oak spice, sweetvanillan notes and infused with delicate dried wildherbs. Juicy, concentrated, and full of brightraspberry and cherry fruit flavours, the palate isfleshy and textural, but well balanced with vibrantacidity and fruit sweetness, to give a long andexpressive finish."
