Product Description
Deep red with purple tint.
A perfumed nose of pure cassis and blackberry, with subtle notes of dark chocolate and liquorice integrated with smoky cedar aromas.
The palate is medium bodied with rich complex dark cassis and blackberry fruit, persistent length of flavour, finishing with elegantly firm tannins. A beautifully balanced and densely flavoured wine combining a powerful mouth feel with expression of fruit never overtaken by supporting oak and tannin structure.
wine score
90 points Wine Advocate
An intense nose of pure cassis, liquorice and subtle seaweed notes with smoky French oak. Densely layered blackcurrant, mint and leather on the palate combine with the elegant oak frame for a long and fine mouth-feel with fine suede-like tannins.
