Tasting Notes
Deep purple in colour, with the nose offering black cherry and dark red fruits with overtones of toasted oak and minerals. The wine is multi-layered, velvety and intense whilst retaining balance. This wine will cellar well for many years but can be drunk now.
Serving temperature: 16ºC-18ºC.
