“A dense ruby purple colour, with a very opulent aroma, that is dominated by dark fruits of the forest with plums and dark wild cherries, with some hints of dried spices. The palate is generous and fleshy with layered flavours of plum and black cherry coating the mouth, while the fine silky tannins give finesse and caressing mouthfeel.”
