Nose: Dark fruit, cherries and strawberries leading earthier wine notes. (8/10)
Palate: The wine influence comes to the fore and mixes into a batch of cookie dough. (8/10)
Finish: A mixture of wine and orange with hints of baking spices. It leaves a kind of gummy bear coating. (8/10)
Balance: This is surprisingly good for such a youngster but it needs a lot of time in the glass to get a hold of all its parts and assemble them into something presentable. Water makes a shambles of it all. (8/10)
