TASTING NOTES:

Vivid purple hue with opulent aromas of cassis, plum and dark cherries, with white pepper, cinnamon, mocha and coffee beans. A youthful vibrant entrance of lovely ripe whole berries, open fires, leading into layers of tobacco and lingering spice with structured firm and gamey tannins. A wine full of life and vigour with a long cellaring potential.
