Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with purple reflections and a delicate ochre rim. Aromas of ripe plum fruit, dark cherry, a hint of vanilla and some fig: an inviting bouquet. Powerful, juicy palate with subtle fruit, ripe cherry, round tannins, some nougat on the finish and a delicately savoury aftertaste with some tannin. Shows length and ageing potential.
