Deep garnet in colour with a nose redolent of juicy ripe red and black cherries, violets and just a hint of licorice. There is also something undefinably savoury yet lifted – perfumed wood – sandalwood or cedar? A tantalizing, complex and delicious nose. On the palate, more cherry fruit, with some savoury undertones and firm, velvety tannins. Juicy fruit balances perfectly with crunchy acid, firm tannins and a long, mouthwatering aftertaste. This wine is such a delicious, complex, balanced drink. Will pair well to BBQ quail or rare duck breast with cherry sauce.
