Elegant, intense, slightly floral, fresh rose aromatics along with ripe plum, cassis and raspberry fruit. Dry, medium-full bodied, harmonious and mouthfilling but balanced, the very attractive, ripe, Damson plum fruit with nuances of raspberry, cassis and black cherry plus some minerality and gently cedary pink peppercorn notes.
