Tasting Notes

Very deep colour; practically opaque with a crimson rim. Intense and brooding black fruit aromas marry with distinctive rockrose and freshly picked mint fragrance. Gorgeous fresh notes of mango. Delicious ripe plum and blackberry flavours; very compact and mouth-filling but simultaneously smooth and elegant. Beautiful chocolate notes on the lingering finish. Irresistible now but with a long life ahead of it.

Each wine exhibits a richly perfumed nose with enticing aromas, and a palate of deep, layered flavours and supple tannins.
