Tasting Note

This wine displays intense black fruit aromatics complemented by cured meat, leather notes, lifted floral elements and savoury wet earth aromatics. The palate presents pure fruit flavours of ripe mulberry, cassis, and liquorice, enhanced by gentle clove and star anise spice. Finely integrated tannins and robust alcohol create a full-bodied wine that is approachable in its youth while possessing excellent ageing potential.
