Deep crimson to dark plum core. Intensely primary on release with lifted red fruits dominating the aromas of red cherry, red plum and redcurrant. Secondary notes of Chinese five spice, fennel seed, star anise and sarsaparilla root combine adding complexity to the primary fruit flavours. The palate continues with red fruits cascading across soft chalky tannins and dense mouthfeel with textural savoury notes and fine acid adding length to the balanced palate.
