Deep purpley red
Light, sweet nose, sweet red fruits
Soft and balanced taste, with an edge of sharp redcurrant or even lemony acid on the tip of the tongue
Tight tannins balance those tart and high, fresh, almost meadowy flavours
This isn't a wine that says 'look at me!' but a wine that coyly winks 'come and get me big boy'
