Colour
Vibrant crimson red
Nose
Soars brazenly, immediately cabernet, tomato relish/chutney, cassis.
Other fruits edge forward for shelf-space ‚yellow fleshed plum (El Dorado?) and ripe persimmon.
Intriguingly, other less assertive aromatics offer more complexity: sage soaked in butter/oil (pre-saltimbocca
preparation); olive leaf/turmeric spices, caper brine.
Reticent oak (cedar) noted, manifested as a seasoned/maturation character.
Palate
Medium-bodied; elegantly framed. No mid-palate deficiencies!
Blackcurrant and plum fruits sit alongside mocha/chocolate/walnut flavours.
Oak? A genteel (washed, older oak) character, affording a maturation, not a flavour imprint.
Mouth-watering with fine, rounded/polished tannins.
