The palate is medium-bodied, with generous strawberry and cherry fruit running through its full length. There is good concentration without heaviness, with fresh acidity providing lift and firm but well-balanced tannins giving the wine structure and length. Plum, spice and earthy notes build through the middle and back palate, while the oak remains restrained and well-integrated. The finish is long and composed, with the fruit, tannin and spice combining to give the wine excellent balance.
