Points Kirsch, candied raspberry and blueberry dominate the nose… The palate is a pleasure bomb of berry fruit within a framework of oaky structure. Lively balancing acidity on the finish.

Points Blackcurrant and blackberry aromas with hints of mint and sandalwood that follow through to a medium to full body, with solid tannins and vanilla undertones… shows some energy.
