Initially restrained on the nose, this wine opens up to an amazingly full-bodied fruit on the palate. Supple and juicy, the raspberry fruit has a ripe intensity which is almost jam-like from its short maceration, and then the Mourvèdre kicks in with blackcurrants and crunchy dark fruit which continue all the way to the finish. The intensity and ripeness are charming, but there is also power and acidity, hiding in the background but always there, allowing the fruit to take centre stage towards the finish. Lovely balance and elegance.
