Bright medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry and licorice are lifted by savory minerality and a note of black pepper. Then surprisingly supple and chewy on the palate for its gentle price but with the black pepper element ensuring inner-mouth energy. Finishes salty, tactile and gripping. An excellent value for drinking over the next few years.

Crunchy, with juicy red fruit flavors that are moderately spiced. Iron and pepper notes show on the fresh finish. Drink now.
