Description
De herder 2020 has a medium ruby colour. On the nose, sour cherry is followed by black berry. Hints of wet gravel are followed by thyme, black pepper, vanilla and cigar box. On the pallet the entry is sweet with round velvety tannins. A youthful freshness shows fruit following through from the nose. The medium bodied weight on the pallet gives way to a sweet spice and a fruitful finish which leaves you with a taste for more.
