Tasting Notes
Intense ruby, purple reflections, a subtle brightening on the rim. Some tobacco underneath notes of blackberries, a touch of ripe cherries, fine savoury notes, an attractive bouquet. Good complexity, fine tannins, juicy, ripe, dark berry confit on the finish, salty in the aftertaste, strong ageing potential, somewhat astringent on the back palate.
