A light, vibrant tone of ruby red in the glass, with enticing aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, white pepper, vanilla and blood orange. Medium bodied – showing plenty of personality – with a phenolic grip, ripe but soft tannins, and some balancing savoury notes to the ripe berry flavours. Glossy textures and a gentle spice come through at the back of the palate. A classy, harmonious finish with good length. 91pts
