Dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, a touch of fine oak, subtle nuances of vanilla, black cherry, a hint of nougat and ripe plum, underpinned by orange zest. The palate is juicy and powerful with fine fruit expression, a hint of fig, supporting tannins, chocolatey and persistent, a great food wine with certain ageing potential.
