“Inky dark colour with a purple hue. Ripe and generous notes of black cherry, dark berries, almond and a slight hint of oak. The palate is ample and generous, youthful texture but soft and rounded tannin, layers of ripe dark fruit, a fresh acidity underneath with good oak integration and a long meaty finish”.
