The lifted floral notes of potpourri and ripe raspberries are offset by hints of ‘tabac brune’ and a pleasant earthy character. The palate has fine grained tannins with wonderful earthy flavours complemented byspice and black olive tapenade. Overall, there’s a richness and amplitude to the wine that sustains a balanced and persistent finish.
