Tasting Note
Complex bouquet displaying perfume scents of violets, raspberries and plum fruits with spice, earthy notes and cedar oak. The palate is full yet elegant with plums, cherries and spice with a hint of sappiness on the mid palate and a savoury backbone. Bright acid and firm tannins give the wine great structure and balance.
