Tasting Notes
Deep, dark ruby with an opaque core and purple reflections, brightening at the rim. The fine bouquet has inviting cherry fruit, delicate floral notes, a hint of liquorice, and candied tangerine zest. Juicy and elegant, with fresh cherries, ripe tannins, and a fine structure. It is already well developed and a multi-faceted food wine, with good ageing potential.
