Fresh and fragrant with forthcoming plum and cherry aromas. Juicy and ripe with balanced acidity, though a bit hot on the finish.

Subtle leather note with dark plum, and blackberry. Strong flavours, resonant tannins, and some residual sugar. Needs aeration.

Cherry pie aromas with floral and leafy overtones. Wild red fruit and stalky bramble flavours and an assertive structure. A fun, super lively wine that needs a bit more time.
