Tasting notes

Colour: Deep ruby with garnet highlights.

Nose: Expressive and clean, with aromas of red and black fruit (cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant), graphite, light tobacco and a hint of toast.

Palate: Supple attack, with a full, structured mid-palate. Round tannins, good acidic tension that gives the wine momentum. Lingering finish with notes of liquorice, ripe fruit and a hint of minerality.
