Nose

Aromas of eastern spice, perfume and florals – jubey redfruits, violets, sweet/savoury herbs – leading to earth/peat and some truffle. Also shows glazed cherry and rhubarb, licorice and a slight toffee hint.

Palate

Eastern spices of clove and cardamom, and minerally fine tannin round it out. The juicy fruit flavours and textures lead to the classic crunchy acid/tannin flesh out on the back palate. An Italian classic wine style, firmly structured, yet approachable in its youth. Best enjoyed with food.
