Sweet & sour black cherries, raspberry, strawberries, pomegranate and tobacco. Nicely oaked without being over done. Supple softened round tannins and a long elegant finish. Paired well with the rosemary ragu. Drink now and over the next 5 years.

Opened this wine with my wife to celebrate our 25 year anniversary from the day we met in London. A lovely light young wine with a lot of life left!

Lovely tannins, light fruit, lots of cherry, could easily age for a few more years.
