Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, a multi-faceted bouquet of inviting dark berry fruit, ripe plum, some liquorice, and delicate nougat. The juicy palate is complex, with taut tannins, good freshness, dark berry and cherry fruit and a saline finish. Still under developed at the moment, the wine is persistent and promises future ageing potential.
More about the tastingDeep ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, bright rim. Mineral undertow to dark forest berry fruit, liquorice and cassis, fine noble wood spices. Powerful, juicy and round, ripe tannins, pronounced fruit with a salty-limestone freshness to the finish. Plenty of ageing potential.
