Tasting Notes
Deep, dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections. Aromas of dark fruits of the forest confit, underlaid with sweet spices, ripe plums, a subtle touch of oak and hints of candied orange zest. Powerful on the palate, with a pronounced fruit texture, round tannins, a fine acidic structure and a touch of chocolate on the finish. Already approachable, with a good future ahead of it.
