Description
How it tastes
Ripe blackcurrant, plum and blackberry layered with notes of strawberry, violet, graphite and a gentle touch of spice and cedar from French oak ageing. Silky and concentrated; dark fruits and red-berry lift are wrapped in subtle spice and fine, rounded tannins. Fresh acidity and a mineral thread give balance and length, leading to a persistent, graceful finish. All tasting notes and recommendations are provided as guidance only and may vary by vintage and personal preference.
