| Tasting note |
This wine offers a bright bouquet of rich and ripe red fruits. Raspberry confection and ripe Satsuma plums at first, with nuances of cola nut, black cherries and dusty cacao underneath.
A soft and fruit forward palate abounds with supple “Cherry Ripe” fruits, red strap liquorice and subtle sweet spice flavours. Silky tannins provide a velvety structure for a memorable marriage of flavours.
