Written Notes

Intense crimson colour with garnet hue. Black cherries, ripe elderberries, hints of sloe, balmy spices, hints of dark chocolate in the background, dried aromatic herbs. On the palate well structured with ripe character, sweet tannins, vibrant character, ripe fruit and hints of minerality. A wonderful wine which is very approachable now but presenting an excellent potential.
