    Semi-translucent ruby. Some spice, garrigue, hedgerow fruit, sloes and damsons on the nose. Savoury inky blackberry fruit on the palate. Pretty blue flowers and a pretty, lightly mineral acidity. Lots of fresh plums and even some mulberries. Juicy, mouthwatering, gorgeous balance and exactly what I want. Lovely depth with really beautiful acidity and cheerfully youthful tannins. Classy, lightly inky finish. A very modern wine that captures Provence in a glass.
