Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby with purple reflections and a gentle lightening at the rim. There are aromas of ripe dark fruits of the forest confit, a fine oak spiciness, blackberry and some bergamot zest. The juicy palate has well integrated tannins and a multi-faceted texture, pronounced fruit, with notes of plum and cherry on the lasting finish. Definite ageing potential.
