Tasting notes

Medium-deep crimson. Praline, demi-glace and slightly tarry aromas with accompanying cassis leafy notes. Rich and concentrated with ample mocha, demi-glace, waxy polish, redcurrant cassis flavours, fine bittersweet tannins and roasted walnut notes. Finishes chalky/almost feathery. A very well-balanced wine with attractive density and fruit power.
