TASTING NOTES
The wine displays deep garnet colour. Lifted aromas of plum, raspberry, cassis and chocolate are complemented by subtle hints of black olives and French oak. The pallet displays medium to full bodied weight with excellent fruit intensity revealing blackberry, plum and red berry fruits, the palate is very supple and long with velvety fine tannins that drive the fruit intensity along the palate to a very long finish. This wine would be an ideal accompaniment to most meat dishes.
