Tasting Notes
Dark ruby red, a purple sheen, subtle ochre brightening on the rim. Intense cassis, delicate notes of liquorice and eucalyptus, a nose between Napa Cabernet and Barossa Shiraz, with a hint of peppermint and gingerbread, very seductive, naturally a somewhat loud bouquet. Medium complexity, black cherries, a touch of fine blackberry, ripe, well-balanced tannins, no trace of over-extraction, subtle use of wood, balanced, a refined acidity, has reached an initial maturity, a discreet sweetness in the aftertaste, excellent food companion. (Drink, 2021-2040).
