Powerful, youthful, a core of dark red berry fruits and layers of toasty vanilla and clove scented wood aromas. No mistaking a the scents of ground pepper, olive and a touch of bitter chocolate. Juicy, fleshy, fruit centric and dry on the palate. Flavours of dark raspberry and chocolate, black olive and brown sugar, violets and toasty wood flavours. Medium tannins and youthful acid line. Balanced and well made. Ready to enjoy with red meats off the barbeque or smoke salmon with olive tappenade paste. Drink now and through 2026.
