Tasting Notes

Dark and deep in colour. Deep berry and brooding spice on the nose, with just a lift of violet. Velvety texture, yet grippy with power, the tannins hold it in like a tight velvet bodice. Layers of beauty – cassis, warm plum and liquorice while a touch of wet earth and dried herbs give it a wild garrigue edge. This is a smouldering, powerfully muscular wine that yet manages poise and sophistication. The finish lasts and lasts.
