Aromas is subtle and fragrant with red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon), fresh herbs (basil), tomato leaf, red flowers and a hint of toasted wood. Medium bodied, round texture with firm yet balancing tannin and characters of cedar wood, mix spices and red fruits. Mulberry, forest floor and a touch of curd meat-like savouriness.
