Varietal, pure, ripe red fruits bouquet with dark cherry and raspberry compote, ripe cranberry and tart raspberry, fine oak, mineral laden and pure. Complex and very enticing. Fine chalky tannins, quite polished. A core of ripe red berry fruits and a fine savoury layer adds vibrato and tension. Fantastic mouthfeel along with finesse and charm, floral and mineral. Very lengthy finish with layers of flavour texture and perfectly placed oak.
