Written Notes

Medium intense, brick red colour. Open, complex and seductive nose has smoky, mineral aromas combined with wild black fruits, chocolate, and grounded pepper. Broad and moderately intense mouth-feel. Sweet fruitiness, mellow tannins and vivid acidity all in great balance. Long finish with wild black fruit flavours. Lovely wine that is drinking perfectly now.
