The nose on this opens up just so expressive and pretty, loads of both red and black cherries, just a touch of ripe raspberry, and something very slightly earthy and tarry in the very back. The palate is just a little rich, fairly medium bodied, and really fruit-driven. There's just loads more red and black cherries, super ripe raspberry, and some sweet cranberry towards the ends. The finish is long and lingering, with a little bit of toasty barrel spice coming up, but this just helps round out those corners, and then at the end a little bit of that very slightly tarry note that just makes the wine feel a bit bigger than it is, giving it a little bit of a savory finish.
