Tasting Notes

A perfumed nose with upfront white pepper, lavender, wild rosemary and bursts of red cherry.  Subtle hints of coriander and nutmeg.  There is a lovely brightness to the palate with a fruit core of sour cherries and mulberries.  This is balanced by noted of spice and delicate chalky tannin.  The palate is fresh, with an underlying structure and a long finish.
