Nose
Fresh raspberry, red currant and black currant aromas create a platform for delicate herbal nuances of mint and bay leaf. Beautifully integrated, the French oak provides a subtle vanillin and spice fragrance
Palate
The wine lands with sweet fruit, fine powdery tannins and a juicy, mouth watering acid structure. The flavours display a lovely contrast of red berry, fresh mint and dried bay leaf. It finishes fine and long with sweet berry and savoury tones of earth and spice
