Description

The colour is a deep ruby coating the glass as it swirls around. Mixed berry compote, terracotta, and bright, juicy plums cascade through the nose. In comparison, the palate bursts with black cherry, baking spice, and lavender. The complexity of flavours coats the mouth with a lingering finish.
