Tasting Notes
Dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, an attractive, inviting bouquet of blackberry, crystallised violets, subtle notes of menthol, and multi-faceted fruit nuances. The full-bodied palate is elegant and powerful with fresh, ripe tannins, notes of blackberry, cassis, and fine herbal spices, and a saline minerality. Juicy and persistent, with nuances of mint on the long finish. Certain potential for further ageing, a class wine.
More about the tastingVery dark ruby, purple reflections. Somewhat restrained on the nose, with delicately leafy and savoury aromas, notes of dark berry confit and a hint of orange zest. Full-bodied and fruity on the palate, notes of fresh sour cherry, well-integrated, firm tannins, nuances of red berries and dried plums on the mineral finish. Definite ageing potential.
