Description
Bright, floral and light spice notes with a hint of youthful reduction on the nose. The palate is full and richly fruited showing cherry and red plum. Notable structure is nicely imbedded from start to end. There is a generous joyous character and energy to the wine with balance between grip, freshness and bright lush fruit.
