Elegant, fragrant and oh so cherry-focussed, this little beauty comes with plenty of crunch and youthful vitality. Dusty, earthy scents with cherry, cranberry and just a light, once over dusting of toasty spice. It’s linear, clean, guided by bright, fine tannins. Brisk across the mid palate, too, exploring some blood orange characters, dried flowers and rosehip in addition to the cherry, cranberry and plum. It’s a fresh, young thing that probably deserves to be opened now and enjoyed.
