From the Belford subregion where the soils are ironstone with limestone below, this is dense and lobs a full pitch delivery your way. Red fruits aplenty are highlighted by strawberries and raspberries, I even detected a little mushroom umami. Ripples of earth, cloves and soft spices move to firmish and dusty tannins that run to an elongated finish. Serve with beef and you're set.
