An excellent bouquet of dark spices and black currant fruits, plum, a mild pepper scent, barrel smoke and stony earth suggestions. A dry, taut wine with firm tannins and back bone of acidity touch the palate first. The black currant and dark plum flavours follow with a gentle peppery quality and warming alcohol. Well made with a firm youthful finish.
A deep purple coloured wine displaying upfront floral aromas, savoury characters & peppery notes typical of this variety.
