This wine pours a deep magenta with a hint of crimson. You’ll pick up bold fruit aromas—think plums and blackcurrants—layered with a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and robust, where ripe red fruits blend smoothly with the wine’s tannins, giving it a rich, warming feel. Mocha and gentle oak add the finishing touches. It’s delicious to drink now, but will also age nicely for over seven years.

| Tasting Notes | Deep magenta in colour with a crimson hue. The wine shows concentrated fruit aromas of plums and blackcurrants balanced by the aroma of rich, dark chocolate. The palate is bold and robust. Savoury red fruits combine beautifully with the tannins to create a rich, warm compote, balanced by mocha and subtle oak on the finish. Drinking well now and will cellar for 7+ years. |
