The colour is a deepish salmon pink, reminiscent of a winter's sunset. The bead is fine & persistent. A complex & well-balanced nose that is reminiscent of orange peel & small red berry fruit. There are some lingering hints of yellow stone fruit (peaches & apricots) & it finishes with subtle mineral aromas. Full-bodied from the start, with clear flavours of black cherries. Powerful & long-lasting, with a finish that combines ripe red fruit with a firm grip. Excellent match with game birds & a cranberry or bilberry sauce & it has sufficient power & depth to go with even stronger flavours.
