TASTING NOTE
Bright garnet hue. Vibrant aromatics of dark plum, cassis, dark cherry and mulberry with lifted vinous minty notes, milk chocolate, coffee and spices of whole black pepper and aniseed. The palate is fresh and lively, ripe dark berried fruits cascade across the length of the palate finishing rich and full with textured fine chewy tannins.
