Tasting Notes
Deep dark rich ruby with a slight purple tinge. Rich and memorable nose with pronounced notes of cinnamon and clove, also some liquorice, then lots of blackberry, and some cassis. Full-bodied on the palate, it starts powerfully, showing lots of blackberry fruit, it opens with dense vivid tannins, and has a firm drive on the finish.
