A well of deep crimson and black fruited tones, another example of why Watkins consistently delivers value for dollars spent. Here you’ll find lilac and blueberry compote, cassis and poppy seed. Oak shows up in sweet baking spice, vanilla pod and Acai chocolate berry notes. Some astute tannins and fresh acidity. A touch of cola bitters right at the finish. Drinking well now and can handle a few years more in the cellar. I’d be inclined to serve this with a family chunky beef pie. Great value.
