First time with the field blend A Capilla- stunning. Ruby red and translucent in the glass. Nose brings mix of red and black forest fruits, spice and herbs. Palate is sublime, medium-bodied, lively acidity, great juice with flavours as per above. Soft tannins. Finishes on a juicy, fruit-forward note. If only I had a few more bottles…
