Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium, bright red hue.
Bouquet: Black cherry, blood orange and dried herb aromas, with hints of flowers and subtle oak adding complexity to the bouquet.
Palate: Ripe fruits dominate the palate; raspberry, redcurrants and cherries with complexing intrigue of the whole bunch portion of Campari notes. Moreish, savoury tannins and natural acidity gives the palate freshness and length. Complex and complete already but should reward medium term cellaring.
