Description
This Bordeaux-style flagship of Simonsig has a dark crimson colour that draws you in. Bursting aromas of dark berry fruit comes out of the glass. Layers of bramble, blackcurrant, and raspberry with hints of fine floral notes and cedar oak spice makes this a complex wine. The tannins are almost chalky but are seamlessly integrated with a lively acidity to give it a long finish that carries the fruit well.
