Spec sheet
The wine
This is a dense, dark cherry-red coloured wine with purple glints. The ripe black fruit aromas integrate well with balsamic and toasty oak notes. On the palate, the wine comes over as powerful, flavoursome, with sweet tannins and a lengthy finish.
Aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels.
NOTE: Decanting is recommended prior to serving.
