Brand: Bilton
SKU: 33388

The colouring of purple black lends to classic aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with pink peppercorns undertones. Interesting aromas of honey bush follows. This elegant wine has a sophisticated palate of sweet berries, black olives and a meaty character. The rich, rounded tannins confirms great ageing ability.
