Tasting Note Deep crimson in colour, medium to full depth in hue. The bouquet shows blackcurrant and mulberry fruit aromas, supported by savoury cedar oak with hints of mocha. A vibrant palate of violets and mulberries balanced by notes of chocolate and blackcurrant. The finish is long and lingering with powdery tannins.
