Written Notes

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Opulent nose with meaty character, distinct spiciness, floral character and juicy , ripe fruit. Blackberries, blackcurrants, black cherries and ripe plums , scented lavender, hints of red peppers, earthy minerality. Distinct toasting with hints of cold smoke. Rich palate with full-bodied character yet fine freshness, hints of graphite and raw meat, distinct spiciness as well as hints of dried herbs. Complemented by ripe and juicy fruit. An impressing wine, based mainly on Tannat, with excellent length.
