Smoky spiced plum opens with dark cherry, blueberry and a quiet thread of mint and herbs. The palate is juicy and mineral-driven, with black cherry and plum carried by fresh acidity and measured tannins. A touch of pepper and restrained oak frame the clean, savoury finish without obscuring the fruit.

Black currant and cranberry lead an expressive nose, with dried plum at the core and quieter notes of mushroom, pepper spice and coffee. The palate is lively and tangy, carrying black cherry through firm but energetic tannins. Pepper and dark fruit linger into a racy finish, with the generous weight staying well integrated.
