This is a wine of lovely intensity. It has distinctive blackcurrant and cassis flavours along with oak characters of cedar cigar box and spice. The tannins are fine and elegant – a hallmark of the varietal. The palate is well balanced and complex and lingers beautifully on the finish.

There is a delicate perfume of Kirsch and dried strawberry with underlying dried bouquet garni. This is a light to medium-bodied wine with a supple yet generously flavoured palate.
