TASTING NOTES
This deeply coloured wine reveals a highly complex aromatic palette on the nose ranging from black-berried fruit to roasted, toasty notes. On the palate, the attack is generous and supple, giving way to a delicious sensation of density and softness. A wine robustly structured yet delicate at the same time, evolving to a gentle, flavoursome finish with fine length.
AGEING
Ready for drinking from 2015, but has fine cellaring potential.

TASTING NOTES
This still youthful wine is crimson-hued with purple tints. The powerful, refined nose is a marriage of red-berried fruit with elegant oak and strong hints of spice. The front-of-palate displays plump, creamy extract, the mid-palate revealing a balanced structure that gives this wine fine length. An excellent wine from an exceptional year. A few years’ patience will be required to taste it at its peak.
AGEING
Ready for drinking from 2017, but can be cellared for 8-10 years.
