Sensory Profile:
Deep ruby in colour. Aromas of black fruits, dried lavender, and black licorice. The palate is rich and velvety, with plum liqueur, chewy tannins, and a sinewy texture. Notes of burnt tangerine zest, walnut, and cedar linger on the finish. A complex and muscular wine with finesse and longevity.
