The WineFront – Gary Walsh Dec 2017
Cherry, almond, a bit of an orange peel and dried herb aromatic, a dusting of pepper. It’s medium bodied, kind of juicy and supple, with cherry and that pinch of bitterness that makes it so wonderfully gustatory. Finishes with a soft powdery tannin, and good length. Here’s a great drink.
