Clear ruby with a blush of pink and a pretty, lifted nose of rose, lavender, spearmint and nettles, macerated red berries, white pepper, rooibos tea, green olive, marshmallow root, roasted chestnut and complex oak spice.

In the mouth it bursts with transparent flavours of both fresh and candied red fruits, blackcurrant, plum, cherry and orange zest that are spiced with clove, vanilla, chocolate and a touch of cola. With good intensity of flavour, firm acidity and very fine and polished tannins, it soars across its arc and ends on a very long tail that leans into Negroni territory, with red fruit top notes and the sustain of oak.
