Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby garnet with an opaque core and watery rim. Delicate floral nuances and rather subtle fruit on the restrained nose, with some and a hint of sour cherries. Full-bodied on the palate, with a core of juicy plum and heart cherry fruit and orange zest. Dried fruit notes also emerge as it shows a rarely seen freshness and precision and extremely fine tannins. There's convincing length to the mineral finish.
