Written Notes

Medium crimson colour. More developed than Hill of Grace but all the same a lovely complex wine with cranberry/chocolate/vanillin aromas with some paneforte/mint nuances. The palate is very loose knit and supple with rich chocolate/cranberry flavours and some meaty characters, fine leafy tannins finishing gravelly and long. 18.5 points (94/100).
