Raspberry bullets, Gala apple skin and crushed cardamom seed. Some cola and black pepper spice with cedar and tobacco richness coming through. This is held in suspense by nicely handled acidity, plush tannins and a velvety finish. Generous with fruit and oak support but with very good drinkability, making for a moreishness. Great value here. Drink now with Lamb sausages or a prune and lamb tagine.
