Benefiting from the warmth of Odesa's sun, this wine reveals subtle hints of paprika spice and freshly cut tobacco. The palate unfolds with the succulence of ripe plum, savoury black cherry and the playful tartness of raspberry, all interwoven with a touch of frankincense and embraced by soft tannins. Well balanced and moreish.
