The nose is lifted, floral and pretty with red fruit, violets, a dusty earthiness and a subtle new leather character coming through as the wine opens up.
The palate is juicy, but restrained and medium bodied. Plums, blackcurrant, cherries and raspberry build to a peppery back palate with an underlying and appealing touch of nutmeg. The chewy tannins are well balanced and its all tied together with lively acidity.
Decanting this wine is recommended, especially when young to allow it to open up. It will age well for at least a decade if cellared correctly.
