beautiful nose of red cherries, strawberries, pencil shavings, perfumed / aromatic, slightly smokey, hint of coffee..oh so expressive yet subtle! flavours of generous red cherries and strawberries, slightly savoury, powdery mellow tannins, some coffee, cedar, good length, yummy!

Wine reached its peak after 1 hour of decanting. Nose: Plums, smoke, slight perfume. Med minus body, lovely flavours of plum, spice, hint of coffee and suprisingly strong smoke. Tannins are well integrated. Fruit starts to fade after 2 hours leaving smoke, spice and coffee and darker flavours on the palate . Unfortunately, the finish is rather short. If not for the short finish, this could be a decent wine for its price!
