Fresh and lively red and black fruits on the nose, summer berries. Lively and fun, succulent but in a really calm and controlled way, where you have mouthwatering acidity but really balanced by salty, just grippy tannins. Easy to drink, well made, Nothing out of place, great for easy drinking, totally enjoyable with fresh fruits, grippy tannins that also have a cool, stone touch giving the freshness. Not elegant but unfussy and well worked. Slightly spiced on the finish. Still got some strength underneath the acidity. Ageing nine months, 30% barrels. Decanter
