Vibrant ruby and scarlet in colour, a lifted nose shows white, green and black peppercorn medley, with cherry ripe, blackberry and plum, followed, in their wake, by subtle spices: star anise, clove, ground cumin and vanilla.
On the palate the wine is fresh, bright, well-woven, and fruit-forward, with plum surrounding a core of sweet cherry. Pomegranate molasses lingers with blackberry and raspberry fruit sweetness, before the wine closes out a palate that shows restraint and balance in its fruitful, acid, tannin and oak elements.
