Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-garnet in colour with purple reflections. Firm, demanding tannins balance the sweet extract, creating a persistent structure with some finely bitter chocolate on the finish. Lots of length to the finish with nougat highlights. This is full of finesse, with great ageing potential.
