Tasting Notes

The wine has a brilliant bright inky colour. The nose is alluring with a complex mix of fresh blackberries and blueberries set against a background of slate, cedar and a bouquet garni. The lively vibrant dark fruits dominate the palate with fine supple tannins and a long focused finish with mineral edges. This wine is all about elegance.
