Opaque appearance with red pigment in the tears and staining the glass, leading to a bouquet and palate of Doris plums and blueberries, hay and dried herbs, dark spices, and a scent reminiscent of old-school Christmas fruit cake. A dry wine with a core of dark berry flavours, an abundance of fruit tannins, and plenty of acidity for crunch, freshness, and longevity. A lovely example, ready to drink from mid to late 2025 through 2034.
