Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a lightly ochre rim. Initially somewhat shy on the nose, then ripe red cherries, subtle hints of wild berries, a fine herbal savouriness and mandarin zest emerge along with a mineral touch. Juicy and elegant on the palate, with a core of ripe cherries lending fine fruit sweetness and working well with the silky tannins. A hint of nougat shows on the finish. A balanced style that's mineral and well-developed, making for a multi-faceted food companion with certain ageing potential.
