FORJAS DEL SALNES Finca Genoveva Caino, Rias Baixas

A 65% Shiraz, 35% Cabernet blend, which manages to be intense yet refined at the same time. A stunning drink now but will also reward further cellaring. Decant.Deep red. Blackberry, plum, dried sage, dark chocolate and charry oak aromas. Deeply flavoured and richly fruited, with fine yet deep tannins underpinning the savoury mix of red and black fruit, supple acidity and plenty of oak on the rich finish.
