Very eye-catching attractive purple tints dominate the colour.
This wine is punctuated by aromas of ripe plums and fresh red berries,
mixed spice – nutmeg and cinnamon – accompanied by rich chocolate and liquorice.
These same characters carry through to a full long palate complexed by nuances of mocha, and fine balanced oak characters. The finish is very persistent with velvety soft fruit, mixed with structured tannins to hold it all together.
