Tasting Notes
Rich, sparkling ruby garnet. Exciting and intense nose, showing notes of cardamom, ripe plums and blackberries. Lots of taut tannins on the palate, gripping and hearty, shows beautiful cherry fruit on the back, juicy, then a little rough on the back, still seems quite austere at the moment, but has lots of substance and potential.
