Sommelier's Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep crimson with a vibrant purple rim.
• Aroma: Rich and complex, displaying core notes of ripe dark fruit, leather, and raspberry, interwoven with hints of toast and baking spice from careful oak aging.
• Taste: Fleshy and balanced, with a beautifully smooth mid-palate. The tannins are fine and persistent, lifting the dark berry and subtle coffee flavours through to an elegant, lengthy finish. A wine of significant pedigree.
