Tasting note:
Nose: Intriguing complex nose of shy perfume, red and black fruit and faint spice note with even a hint of licorice in the mix.
Palate: On the palate, the first sensation is textural – velvety, smooth and silky. Spicy with black berries, rich fruitcake and understated touch of tobacco leaf. There is a soft squeeze of dry tannin without the wine being astringent. Superbly poised and balanced with lovely length. Elegance retained to the end.
