Beautiful fruit flavours dominate the nose of this wine, with just a touch of wood to add to the complexity of the bouquet. The fruit burst through on the pallet and lingers nicely to complement the medium / full body of the wine. Before you know your glass will be empty, leaving you wanting more. (Look for raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, plum. )
