Tasting Notes
Strong ruby, purple reflections, broader ochre rim lightening. Subtle tobacco and herbal savouriness underlay, dark berry fruit, a hint of cherry, discreet hint of nougat. Juicy, black berry fruit, vivid, supporting tannins, freshly structured, fine chocolaty touch, remains lasting, red berry nuances on the finish, well developed.
More about the tastingDark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a lightly watery rim. Fine herbal spice, a hint of blackberries and ripe plums, and subtle dried orange peel defines the nose. Juicy, velvety tannins on the palate mingle with an echo of woody spice, with ripe cherry fruit on the finish. Will benefit from bottle ageing.
