Tasting Notes
Colour: Medium, bright red hue.
Bouquet: Aromas of black cherry and kirsch, beetroot and earth. A fragrant floral and vanilla note adds complexity to the bouquet.
Palate: The palate is weighty and generous, with dark berries, the hint of kirsch flavour, and a satisfying savoury oak balance. The power of the wine is balanced by the fine, powdery tannins giving great texture to the wine. A keeper.
