Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red and medium. On the nose it is intense, complex and seductive. The taste is fresh, with medium tannin, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, well-integrated structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has earthy, perfumed, leather, blackberry, blackcurrant, spice, smoky, toasty and floral flavours. The finish is long, lingering, vibrant and spicy. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
