Immediately friendly – a welcome sign – and built for early drinking enjoyment. Abundant scents in bright red cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, anise with a nice serve of lifted florals is your introduction. While the scent is bright and lively, the palate brings more depth and substance with a touch of wild herbal pinosity that sings loud and true and works with the sinewy fineness of the tannins. It’s lightly savoury, quite enticing. . . and definitely friendly.
