Red roses, dark cherry and blackberry. Oak tones show though as white pepper spice, clove and sandalwood. Layers of meatiness and flintiness, making a compelling argument to give the wine some time in the glass with oxygen.

Oak spices come to the fore with earthy notes and sandalwood; leading into a blood orange, Campari-esc finish. The texture washes over the palate like suede with tannins that melt into the mouth.
