Tasting Notes
Dark ruby garnet with an opaque core, purple reflections and a touch of rim brightening. Fine spice and nougat notes of precious wood on the nose, along with ripe black cherries, a hint of cassis and some candied orange zest. Complex and full-bodied, on the palate with a core of blackberry jam and supporting tannins that build towards the mineral finish. Will benefit from bottle ageing.

Delicate smoke layered under black berry fruit, fresh cherries and a hint of liquorice, some nougat underneath. Juicy, complex, ripe cherries, vivid tannins, which are well integrated, salty touch on the finish, pronounced fruit ending, good ageing potential.
