TASTING NOTE
Beautiful, concentrated medium ruby colour. Perfumed and elegant, with lifted dark cherry and cassis fruit with a pinch of vanilla pod, cinnamon bark, and dark, spicy chocolate. Great freshness and succulence on the palate, with lovely tannic grip and a long cherry and spice finish. Repays and deserves extended cellaring. Drink now – 2020.
