Tasting note

Dark in colour, the wine begins with aromas of black currant and blueberry. On the palate, the fruit is ripe and intense - black cherry, black currant, mulberry - but also vibrant, with spicy notes on the finish. The texture is firm. Score - 92.

A deep youthful purple appearance with powerful, ripe and intense fruit aromas of black cherry, raspberry, plum and mulberry. The fruit overlays subtle oak notes, coffee, marzipan, chocolate, vanilla and a hint of fresh tobacco. The palate is full of mixed brambly berries, licorice, clove, cedar, graphite and sage with a long persistent finish. Approachable now with its ripe and integrated tannins, there is also the flavor intensity and structure to mature well in bottle. Try this with coq au vin or your favorite grilled red meat with a red wine demi-glace.
