Tasting notes
Very pale crimson/ruby. Leafy and compost on the nose. Scented and interesting. Round and very fruity. Well balanced and sweeter than most of its compatriots on the palate. Some delicacy. Easy to like but perhaps not the most appetising. (JR)

Bright red. Redcurrant and strawberry on the nose, with a lively underpinning of brown spices. Finely etched red berry flavors are given spine by a nervy mineral quality and pick up a rose pastille note on the back end. Finishes with a sweeter black raspberry quality and very good, sneaky persistence. This wine should age nicely on its balance and freshness.
