Tasting Notes
Clear, rich ruby colour with purple shimmer. Opens with slightly smoky, mineral notes on the nose, then lots of plums and blackberries, with rich savouriness in the background. Dense and very vivid on the palate, builds wonderfully, lots of pithy, firm tannins, coated with a sweet texture, describes a wide arc, firm drive on the finish.
