Colour: Deep, with garnet-red highlights.
Nose: A rich and complex nose of dark fruit, enhanced by cassis, graphite, sappy tobacco, damp earth, violets, cedar and menthol.
Palate: Graceful and full-bodied, with an attractive, powerful structure and a delicate, silky texture. Vibrant fruit and fine-grained tannins lead to a stately, long aftertaste.
