Lovely colour backed up by an uplifting nose with some savoury tones but dominated by punchy red fruits of raspberry along with mulberry. There is even a hint of eucalypt and mint sitting in the background. The palate is juicy and flavours of cedar and gentle spice are evident. A combination of new and old French and American oak have done the job very nicely here as the fruit is let free and able to dance.
This is all capped off with a great long and smooth finish. I kept looking into the glass to see if there was anything else I could lick out. Yum!
Great now and for the medium term.
