Tasting Note

Intense plum colour with a vibrant ruby edge. Opening with rich, dark berry fruit at its core and a savoury edge of wild herbs, graphite and cedar. The wine is dense and brooding with plump blackcurrant fruit moderated by a backbone of fine-grained, grippy tannins, creating lovely tension and succulence. Beautifully balanced and stylish taste with classic cultivar expression. The savoury finish is long and satisfying.
