Owner's words
Deep and concentrated in appearance, tinged with purple. Complex on the nose, fresh and ripe, expressing liquorice, spice and mint notes intermingling in perfect harmony. Initially smooth on the palate, building concentration, unctuous structure and underpinned by silky tannins. The wine culminates in a long, very lingering, fresh, well-balanced finish.
