Description

Deep ruby red in colour. Intense, mature nose combining aromas of fig, liquor, violet, cassis, tobacco, cherry, lackcurrant and liquorice. The oak is present and very well balanced. The palate is fresh, with firm and mature tannins. The acidity makes this wine refreshing and gives it a long, pleasant finish.
