Tasting Note
This has a delightful, youthful colour, still with a tinge of purple. Blackberry fruit on the nose, with some buttery crumble notes, and a peppery twist too. On the palate this is dry, savoury and reserved, but with really nice blackberry and raspberry fruit. Behind it there sits just a little seam of tannin, which suggests that this will drink very well for several years, although it is lovely to drink now. Nice, dry and mouth-watering, even if a little short on the finish. This is very good indeed.

An easy-drinking wine, to open at any time for his fruity character… a wine for pleasure, with
a round, generous and tender taste.
