The medium-light colour and the attractive strawberry and spice on the nose suggest a light bodied, even frivolous, wine.
However, the leather, tobacco box and mocha notes allude to something more.
With the fresh entry fresh showing sour cherry and strawberry, the wine moves to good weight on the mid-pallet and texture all-round with hints of oak, vanilla and spice.
The finish lingers on with chocolate and cherry, yet stays focussed due to a good acidity level.
An exceptional combination of weight and texture with a youthful freshness.
