Tasting
"Beautiful colour with a bright purple-tinted rim. The first nose offers an explosion of red fruit aromas including raspberry, strawberry and morello cherry. Then follow notes of gingerbread and pencil lead. The mouth reveals a creamy texture and velvety tannins that caress the palate throughout. The freshness on the finish brings length and elegance to this vintage that will evolve over the next few years to show its true potential, promising immense drinking pleasure after a decade or so of bottle ageing."
