Tasting Notes
The colour is an opaque ruby with a slender rim. The nose offers ripe plum, juicy and bold, with overtones of conifer resin and a blueberry lift. The palate is intense, vivid with bold, ripe, vibrant plum and crushed forest berry. This is a concentrated torpedo of fruit, energetic, almost forceful, targeting the pleasure centres of the brain with insistence, conviction and persistence. A chocolate-like lick on the long finish adds a final tone of richness to this most energetic of wines. This echoes long and leaves a lasting impression
