Brilliant ruby. Intensely perfumed cherry, raspberry and lavender aromas show excellent clarity and a hint of white pepper. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering energetic red fruit, spicecake and a subtle touch of candied licorice. Closes sappy and impressively long, delivering a solid punch with fine-grained tannins that slowly build. This wine will age gracefully on its balance.
