TASTING NOTES

Deep red with violet hues.
Fruit notes of blackcurrant, black plum and raspberry.  Additional aromatic lift comes from woody florals and a ‘bouquet garni’ culinary herb nuance.  The fruit is supported by super fine French oak which has integrated with the fruit characters and contributed a subtle vanilla and spice note.
The palate is all charm with lovely fruit weight, well aligned acid/ tannin balance and a focused long finish.  A wine of sophistication and underlying power.
