Medium, youthful purple in colour, paling towards the rim. The bouquet is fresh and of subtle to medium intensity, driven by crisp dark red fruit (sour cherry, redcurrant) with a delicate hint of blossom and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is lively with good energy but low weight; the flavour intensity is on the lighter side, with the fruit being distinctly fresh and juicy, supported by a present acidity and soft tannin. Reminiscent in the best sense of a refreshing cherry juice, it is highly approachable though displaying limited depth and complexity, concluding with a somewhat short but pleasantly fruit-forward finish.
Drink through 2032.
