Medium ruby colour with a darker core. The nose is a bright mix of sweet, minty raspberry tart that overlays more meaty aspects. Really lovely texture, the tannins are still there on the finish, just slightly forward but fine-grained and not dominating. The well concentrated fruit is that same raspberry red colour with the minty notes of the nose still showing. Good acidity that follows through the raisin-tinged and eventually creamy finish. Certainly tasty enough to warrant a couple more purchases.
