Wine Style: Full-bodied, barrel matured, capturing the best of Old and New World styles.
Nose: Prominent aromas of fruitcake and mulberry underlined by subtle nuances of violet.
Palate: Prominent flavours of cassis on the palate, joined by a flurry of other dark fruit flavours forming a well-structured and elegant wine with a lingering finish.
