Tasting notes

A complex bouquet combining ripe cherries, toasty notes and tobacco. The wine evolves to reveal nuances of prune and leather. Powerful on the palate, structured by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. The balance is remarkable, underpinned by spicy touches of liquorice and pepper. An intense, elegant wine.
