Nose
Oh so pretty. Rosewater and musk, delicate red/blue- fruits, racy redcurrants, maraschino cherry, balsamic, sa- voury sage leaf. All the beautiful aromas – cinnamon and toffee, rosemary/ thyme, bay leaf.
Palate
Some good crispy acidity to hold those delicate fruits to- gether, yet adding some power and length to the wine too. All the usuals on the palate – strawberry, raspberry coulis, sweet & savoury, leaving some tasty red-fruits on the long finish.
