An interesting nose, almost reminiscent of a classic Black Forest gateau, with notes of morello cherry, sour cherry, crème patissière and just a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is lighter on its feet than the nose suggests, with a lively acidity that dances across the palate, bringing with it more of those cherry notes, alongside pomegranate, summer berries and a touch of spice. There’s a tannic backbone here, but finely judged, simply providing framing to this juicy and concentrated wine.
