The nose reveals appealing savours of black bays, tobacco and mint that are followed through by hints of spices and vanilla. The fruit is ripe, plums and sweet blackberries. Sweet and velvety tannins accompanied by freshness for the finish.

This incredibly complex wine touches multiple flavor notes including cherry, cassis, spice, cedar and espresso, packaged in a medium body. Balanced, silky tannins with acidity and length. It is a wine that drinks easily young, but will also age well.
