Semi translucent bright red to dark red colour with black toned edges and a light red hue. Delightful red cherry and strawberry aromas are followed by hints of anise, rhubarb, forest floor and spicy cedar. Savoury red to dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb flavours glide across the palate with notions of dried herbs, forest floor and spicy cedar lying underneath. Possessing a fleshy feel it has polished fine grained tannins and shows ample power. Finishes long and highly delectable. Fantastic everyday drinking.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
