| Ambering fairly deep red colour. Attractive, gently spicy, maturing, ripe plum-cherry nose with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, harmonious, well structured, ripe plum-cassis flavours with a lingering, harmonious, gently cedary, licorice-tinged finish.

| TASTING NOTE: Aromas of forest floor, mature berry, dark culinary spice, wild mint and a whiff of violet come together on this impressive wine. The full-bodied palate displays layers of mature black cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and chopped herb framed in bracing tannins and fresh acidity. Even though it seems inviting, give it time to settle down and come together. Drink 2020-2030. Cellar Selection. Score - 94 (Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 2016) |
