Tasting Notes
Bright, generous ruby red. Fragrant, inviting nose of ripe wild berries, rose hip, dried orange zest, supported by light pepper savouriness. Very elegant and juicy on the palate, stretches across the tongue with clear, salty fruit, high drinking flow, harmonious and precise on the finish, currently very elegant with further certain ageing potential of a year more bottle ageing.
