Intensely ruby red. The bouquet exhibits a great balance between the floral notes of apricot and the spiced notes of rose hip and vanilla. To the palate it is fresh, complex and persistent. The tannins are built within the body of the wine, which is silky and harmonious. The acidic component is significant and blends in elegantly with the alcohol content. Notes of raspberry, currant, gooseberry lead to a finish of white pepper and cocoa powder.
