In appearance this wine was medium ruby with medium legs adhering to the glass giving an indication of alcohol level (14.5%). On the nose it is vibrant red fruits of red cherry, strawberries and red currants with faint aromas of fresh mint, caramel and white pepper.
On the palate it is dry with good acidity and rounded tannins. It is medium bodied, with some 'chewy' characteristics but the fruit intensity was more subdued than on the nose of forest fruits (black and red cherries), mint, hint of tobacco and some spicyness to the finish.
This wine was very enjoyable to drink now and the tannins will probably become more integrated with some ageing.

Red and black fruits on the nose with a hint of forest floor and spice. Flavours of red and black fruits, specifically black cherries, blackberries, red cherries and licorice with a pepper spice finish.
