Aroma: Liquorice root, fennel seed and ground spice precede blackberries, and bramble leaf on the rich, inviting nose.
Flavour: On the palate tight, sinewy tannins wrap around tangy sour cherries, raspberries and strawberries, evolving to darker fruit, and going savoury at the edges. Medium bodied yet with a layered density of fruit. Red and black berries unroll to a juicy pomegranate finish, dusted with a hint of cacao.

Aroma: Fragrant notes of hibiscus, fynbos-spice and wild strawberries unspool on the nose.
Flavour: The palate is red-fruited and generous, plumped with raspberries, mulberries and sappy cherries; then lifted on the mid-palate with refreshing watermelon verve. Keenly balanced with a lemony acidity, all that beautiful, bright fruit is cradled in a fine-boned structure imbued from old oak ageing.

Aroma: Dried violets and kirsch scent ripe plums, black olives and red cherries on the nose. Flavour: Delicately savoury from a hint of smoked meat on the undertow. Fresh berry fruit on the palate is buoyed by a plummy acidity. Gently structured, the tannins layer in featherweight and fine along the bright red fruit profile. The finish tails in with a light dusting of black pepper spice, well balanced and refreshing.
