Tasting Notes
Bright, intense ruby colour with a pronounced garnet hue. Opens on the nose with rich notes of ripe cherries, then raspberry and ripe watermelon in the background. A splendour on the palate, initially showing lots of red berry fruit, fine texture, then opens up with polished, dense tannins, firm drive with a long finish.
