Description
Appearance: Dark core with brick red edge, clear and ruby red glistening rim makes for a very alluring appearance
Nose: Aromas of succulent sweet berries, brambles, cassis and perfume intertwined with autumn herbs and spices. Classic pencil shavings, graphite and toffee butterscotch.
Palate: With an abundance of black fruit and sweeter spice like vanilla, cinnamon, liquorice and anise, this surely is a very opulent flavoursome experience. Again, leading with Cabs (both franc and Sauvignon) there is no shortage of power and sustain, but there is also a sense of meekness to the wine.
