Tasting profile

Ruby red, developing garnet hues with age. The bouquet is pleasantly vinous, with ripe red-fruit aromas. The palate is persistent and balanced, with soft, sweet-edged tannins. A broader description highlights an intense red colour and a distinctly fruity character led by plum and morello cherry, followed by a soft, appropriately tannic and harmonious palate.
