Tasting notes
Inky dark purple colour. Fragant nose, ripe yet nuanced with cassis, plum, cherry, fine oak and a mild spiciness. The palate has a dense structure with ample fruit, fine tannic backbone and sensation of freshness despite being rather ripe and lush, subtle oak and a long vigorous finish.
