A deep garnet-purple colour, opening slowly to reveal crushed blackberries, mulberries and cassis, with suggestions of orange peel, fennel and anise. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled, with graceful black and red berry flavours interspersed with exotic spices and floral notes, supported by velvety tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing long and perfumed. Aged 18 months in oak, 60% new French.
