Nose: An exotic amalgam of primary fruits and spices. Both varietals playing a complementary role. Plums, dark cherry, summer pudding are the first to entice. Vanilla and allspice allude to oak maturation nuance.

Palate: The palate is fine and textured, with oak derived milk chocolate weight. Ironstone and cherry pips linger, with Campari-like phenolics. Dark cherry juice, sour cherry and blackberry adding to succulence.

Finish: The tannins are fine and supportive.

Serving Temperature: 14°-16° C
