Tasting Notes
The wine’s nose is perfumed, with notes of violets, white pepper, aniseed and thyme. The palate has a distinct white pepper characteristic with black cherries and chalky tannins. The palate is layered, showing depth and complexity. Start drinking in 2 years’ time, but cellaring will reward drinker with an ageing potential of 10 years or more.
