Rich, ripe mulberry colour. Ripe fruit aromas, with sweet violets, ripe plums and a hint of mulberry, yet with an attractive smoky backing. Soft and smooth in the mouth giving an instant "Gluggability". Yet it has some serious fruit character, peppery tones and under lying supply tannin. Sprightly finish. Probably just a bit too good to rate as a "quaffer", but could surely be used for relaxed, "recreational" drinking.
