Tasting Notes

The nose features aromas of ripe red and black fruit against a backdrop of spicy, woody notes. Further years of ageing will bring forward animal notes of musk and fur. Full-flavoured and velvety, this wine is silky, robust, tannic and well balanced. A long, beautiful finish that echoes the first nose.
