Tasting Notes:
Garnet colour going on a little tawny.The nose is fragrant, leather, coffee, cedarwood and truffles with subtle red fruit and prune notes.

Medium-bodied with a lovely freshness from balancing acidity that keep the wine vital and alive and mean it would be lovely with a great deal of different food.

The flavours are savoury and slightly gamey with some succulence from prune-like fruit. The tannins are firm, but quite light and smooth not a major component of the wine, just a little bit of structure, together with the freshness, on the long, clean finish.
