Aromas of pine forest with hints of resin, pine needles and a touch of mint. Also on the nose, berry fruits and black plum. Very fine textured in the mouth with delicious, bright flavors of blackberries and a slight
suggestion of liquorice, perhaps from the wine’s sizable Syrah component. On the mid-palate there are fine-grained tannins and some tension from the good acidity that underscores the wine’s freshness and balance. The long aftertaste suggests some promising aging potential.
