Deep Red almost purple with aromas of dark berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate
blueberry and blackberry some spice with dry dusty tannins. Full-bodied with nice mouthfeel on a lingering finish ending with mineral tones. Nice value.

Had this with fresh Jamaican meat pies and it was a perfect compliment to the spice. Fruity cherry nose with a wild berry flavor, big tannins but not over bearing. Classic Rhine valley at a great price point.

Loads of brambly fruit on the front, turning more savory with gamey/leather notes coming through. Ends with flavors of tea and bright berry fruit.

Delicious wine. A bit acidic (in a pleasant way) and fresh, but really smooth to drink nevertheless.
