Deep dark red colour. Expressive layers of Bordeaux varietal fruit with blackcurrent ripe berry fruit and seamless tannins. Fruit layered palate with well integrated oak-derived aromas, complementing the primary varietal characters. Very elegant, well balanced, medium to full bodied wine with an excellent finish.
