Description
ON THE NOSE Expressive to say the least! A lovely balance of dark fruit, spice and herbal undertones. Blackberries and plums are accompanied by sun-dried tomatoes, juniper berries and scents of cloves. An undertone of cigar box, cedar wood and eucalyptus lends another dimension of complexity to this extraordinary wine.
ON THE PALATE Wonderful fruit acidity is balanced with powerful, yet chalky tannins, ensuring a good aging potential for this elegant wine. Enjoy lingering notes of sweet dark fruit, blackberries and spice.
