Owner's words
Deep garnet-red colour, expressive and captivating. The powerful nose is dominated by aromas of jammy black fruits, enhanced by a hint of delicate spices. The attack is beautifully sweet, quickly supported by a generous mid-palate volume. The structured, elegant finish is characterised by silky tannins and lingering black fruit flavours, punctuated by a subtle toasty note.
