## Tasting notes

Light ruby red. Fruity hints of dark cherry with ferrous, balsamic and spicy notes. On the palate, hints of dark fruit and cherry supported by a lively, young tannic texture suggesting potential for evolution. Drinking well already, with the potential to evolve over the next 20 years.
