TASTING NOTES Colour: Intense, deep, dark, rich ruby/purple with a bright magenta edge. Nose: A forthcoming, complex and intense array of black cherries, spice, concentrated black berry, plums and hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Palate: Full, round and elegant with a rich concentration of fruitcake and black cherry truffle flavours intermingled with vanilla and coffee. The ripe fruit tannins and well-integrated wood tannins allow for smooth drinking and the subtle firmness promises many years of aging. Overall: An elegant, compelling wine with an intensity of flavour that will reward a number of years' maturity in the bottle, yet already sleek, lush and very drinkable
