  Ruby-red colour with pale purple hues, this is youthful in appearance. The bouquet is light and fresh with aromas of dark red cherry fruit and thyme herbs with good concentration in an elegant presentation. Medium-bodied at 13.7% alc., this is a stylish and well-proportioned wine with attractively sweet, well-ripened, dark berry and cherry liqueur flavours with a good core on the palate. The richness is balanced by very fine tannin grip and good, fresh acidity. Seemingly a smaller-scale wine, this is sure to blossom and surprise with its succulence and depth over the next 4-6+ years. Match with salmon, tuna, duck and pork. 18.0-/20 May 2011 RRP $30.00.
