The colour is light, but the bouquet and palate have much more to say than its siblings. The explanation lies in its alcohol, not of itself a good thing, but here signalling ripe fruit, coupled with a touch of new oak.
Initial aromas of tamarillo, spiced strawberry and ironstone. After an hour in the glass, more savoury elements start to show through along with Asian spices. Restrained characters of tamarillo, spice and baked rhubarb carry onto the palate, accompanied by fine savoury tannins and natural acidity providing great focus and length with a savoury finish that has wonderful persistence.
