Plush aromas of cherry skins and fresh berries harmonize with fresh clove on the nose. An immediate attack of crisp red apple is followed by red plum, fresh cherry, thyme stems and potting soil that persist on the palate. An elegant expression with a balance of fruit and earth, with a light white peppercorn and a black tea leaf finish.
