Deeply coloured, this offers a heady blend of warm fruitcake, dark chocolate and mocha, these richer aromatics complementing fresh, primary elements and adding complexity. There is fruit at every pitch of the spectrum, vibrant, primary red berries through to spiced, dark and brooding. Freshness and purity are impeccably pitched and are striking on both the nose and palate, the latter of which is generous, rich in ripe cherries, with perfumed notes and vanilla cream, through to a poised, elegant finish.
