Tasting Notes
Brilliant, rich ruby with a fine garnet rim. Opens with notes of olive paste and flint, then lots of ripe wild raspberry and blackberry, very inviting. Substantial and dense in the attack and course, showing fine fruit, lots of cherry and blackberry, some cranberry, opens with sturdy, dense tannin, very well integrated, fine resinous notes on the finish.
