The wine leads with seductive aromas of fresh and dried floral tones along with cherry compote, wild thyme, raspberry, fennel tops, barrel spice and a hint of cured meats and leaf litter. The palate is finely textured, revealing a savoury core of raspberry, red and dark cherry and blood orange, dusted with Medina spice and balanced by fine, silty tannins and a mineral line. It's a wine driven by structural tension rather than fruit sweetness, finishing with a long draw of pure flavour and a complex spice-and-herb array.
