Description: A deep, dark ruby colour. With longer maturing, it acquires a brick red colour with ruby hues. A sophisticated, intense bouquet, full of spicy and balsamic notes. Noble aromas of ripe fruit, cherry and figs jam, dark dried fruits, cherries in liqueur, liquorice, aromatic herbs, hints of mint and pepper gradually give way to aromas of ‘goudron’. The wine is full-bodied and lively on the palate, filling the taste buds with its density and elegant tannic texture, and ending with a lingering, fresh and wonderfully noble aftertaste. A full-bodied vibrant wine.
Great potential for bottle maturing.
