Rich red fruit slips out the glass like silk and velvet made tangible. A veil of spicy, resinous twigs dissolves into mulberries, olive tapenade and a background chorus of night flowers. Dripping in ripe redcurrants, the palate is succulent and flows with a gentle, blood orange acidity. There’s a touch of cherry cola, whipped away in a cloud of fresh black pepper. Like the finest of fabrics barely-there svelte tannins seam to a well-balanced, and neatly dry finish.
