Tasting Notes
Stunning dark ruby in appearance. Blackberries and black cherries abound on the bouquet, backed by lovely freshness. Highly concentrated on the palate with unctuous tannins. This soft, voluptuous wine grows in stature and culminates in a finish defined by the delicate toastiness of lovely oak.

91 Points - James Suckling
Fresh herb and blackcurrant aromas with hints of walnut skin. Full body, firm and velvety tannins and a savory finish. Needs time to open.
