Deep dark red colour. Aromas are very complex. Initially fresh red and black fruits, then spice, pastry, crushed rock and tobacco leaf. The palate abounds with earthy fruits, blackberry, mocha, thyme, and an exquisite minerality. A wine of great poise and length. Refreshingly light despite its 15.1% alcohol. Matured in 40% new French oak for 20 months. Unfined and unfiltered. Cellaring potential of 12+ years.
