Owner's words
The complex nose displays notes of licorice, fresh blackcurrant and red roses, mingled with aromas of Havana cigars and hints of pink peppercorn. Starts out clear-cut on the palate, becoming full-bodied before leading into a delicate finish underpinned by creamy and silky tannins. The delicious flavours are dominated by fresh blackcurrant notes, accompanied by more mineral overtones of gunflint and wet stones after the rain.
