Smooth, juicy and fruity blend (60/21/19) aided and abetted by some depth from the Mataro. You're introduced by way of a spice flecked red and black fruited mix, raspberry and blackcurrant pastille. There's a little licorice and earth in the equation, but the pleasure for me here was the lightness and ever-so-moreish qualities in possession.
Over two days the fruit takes a little back-seat, and some lightly dusted cinnamon over citrus peel leads you in. No particular length to shout about, but i reckon you'll be back in for another sip of this one to not worry about that. Easy going, all in check, more than a nod to the Rhone as much as Eden Valley. 89 - Good
