Tasting Notes
Dark ruby, purple reflections, broad ochre rim. Dark berry confit with fine oak savouriness in the background, ripe cherry, delicate hints of blackberry, a hint of orange zest, some liquorice. Juicy, elegant, fine structure, savoury, velvety tannins, complex play of fruit on the finish, heart cherry in the finale, fresh and tight-knit, good development and certain ageing potential.
