Superb, deep cherry red in colour. The nose is delicately fruity (cherry, Damson plum, rhubarb) and f loral (violet, lilac). An elegant hint of pine sap lends complexity and mingles with pleasing sucrosity reminiscent of sugar-coated almonds. Then come spicier notes (pepper, nutmeg), which are rounded out by the delectable scent of freshly baked bread. The palate starts off with remarkable breadth and features delicate flavours of red fruit (cherry, raspberry). The palate boasts lovely acidity along with bold tannins that will mellow in the coming months along with a discrete hint of wood (cedar, cinnamon). This is a lovely, expressive wine, endowed with vivacity and remarkable length.
