Written Notes

Intense purple colour with violet hue. Very expressive nose with multi-layered character, ripe dark berries, blackcurrants, mulberries and elderberries, hints of dried aromatic herbs in the background. Well expressed toasting with vanilla and hints of cedar wood. On the palate excellent with very good structure and length, ripe dark berries, juicy cherries, mild spices and a hint of cedar wood in the finish. A great wine with potential.
