7/9. Bright medium ruby/garnet, pale garnet rim. Nose is quite developed, mulch, undergrowth, underlying red fruit. Medium bodied, quite rich on initial entry - mulch, undergrowth again - lovely soft tannins, then vibrant acidity carries a pure, long raspberry fruited finish. Really lovely, drinking beautifully.
