Tasting Note
Colour: Deep crimson red
Aroma: Lifted fresh mint, ripe plum, cassis, blackberry, raspberry, and brambles, over tobacco leaf, cigar box, dried herbs, and milk chocolate.
Palate: Raspberry, cherry, plum, and blackcurrant, overlay coffee, chocolate, roasted nuts, and brown spice. Well-integrated tannins provide structure across the length of the palate and give the wine a focus that persists long after the wine has left the mouth. A medium-bodied, balanced, and multilayered wine that is superb with food.
