01: Wine characteristics and description
A dark ruby wine showing inviting aromas recalling blackberry, ripe mulberry, and blueberry fruit enhanced by touches of cloves and violet, and fine oak spice, just starting to develop real complexity. To taste it is succulent and generous, but not heavy with grainy tannins and great fruit, underscored by bright, vibrant acidity. Classy Merlot with a real sense of its place, approachable now but also has the structure and freshness to mature.
