Tasting Note
A deep dazzling purple. The nose opens with airing to reveal elegant fresh fruit, blackcurrant bud and eucalyptus aromas. A powerful, silky mid-palate building to a long finish on notes of brioche and licorice. Drink now-2025.

Tasting Note
Intense deep red. Powerful and expressive nose with complex aromas of black fruit, fine oak, toasty and smoky. The palate is rich and full. Supple tannins and good length with aromas of very ripe fruit on the finish. Enjoyable in its youth while offering good potential for ageing.
