Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of violet, cracked black pepper, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice.

Flavours of juicy cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant unfold alongside hints of liquorice, pepper and savoury herbs. Its expressive fruit character is balanced by freshness and elegant structure, leading to a persistent finish with lingering red berries and gentle mineral notes.
