Medium ruby coloured. Medium minus intensity dusty cherry, slight minerality and a kind of funky/herbal note. I'm also getting touches of meat here. In the mouth the wine has some sour cherry and medicinal herbs with slight phenolic grip. Medium length. Nice. Still falling into that eminently quaffable area...

Medium intensity purple, clear with slight rim fade and medium paced tears. On the nose this clean, developing wine has medium plus intensity aromas of biscuit, savoury/meaty plum, redcurrant jam, cranberries, sweet spice, vanilla, caramel/toffee and slight cigar box. In the mouth this dry wine has medium plus acid, medium tannin, medium body, medium plus alcohol and medium flavour intensity with flavours of juicy red currants, cedar, slight tobacco though it is quite savoury and has white pepper spice that carries on the long finish...there are also hints of chocolate/mocha and cherry. Over time I discern a slight stalkiness that adds a certain amount of chewiness to the texture. good.

Crispy fruity nose with mainly strawberries and raspberries. Mildly tannic, the palate shows red berries.
