Tasting Notes:
A red of unmistakable personality. An intense ruby red with purple tones. On the nose, fragrances of ripe red fruit and intense flowers. The palate is smooth and mouth filling, with good weight and complexity, thanks to prominent redcurrant and wild red berry fruit flavours which harmonize with vanilla, cedar tobacco and chocolate aromas. A crisp acidity and balanced tannins support it through an appealing, lingering finish.
