Dusky, dark berry fruit on the nose, with damson plum and a hint of violet florals. Elegant and concentrated on the palate, the tannic framework and vibrant, refreshing acidity provide structure to a lively hedgerow-berry core of juicy bramble, rosehip jelly and a hint of cacao nib from subtly handled oak. The tannins are finely realised, carrying the concentrated fruit expression through to a pleasing and persistent finish.
