Deep ruby in the glass with a touch of orange on the rim, showing the first signs of bottle age.
The nose is quite engaging.
It opens with sweet aromas of ripe orange before gradually revealing gentle baking spices.
Everything feels rounded, harmonious and very inviting.
The palate is generous and juicy, with vibrant fruit at the core.
There’s an interesting note reminiscent of starfruit, bringing a fresh, lightly sweet and succulent character that makes the wine glide effortlessly across the palate.
The finish is impressively dry, which keeps the wine focused and savoury, preventing the rich fruit from ever feeling cloying.
Overall: A lovely contrast between a generous, fruit driven opening and a clean, dry finish.
Drinking beautifully now, although it has enough structure to reward a few more years in the cellar.
