Sample
A glossy dark red in the glass, the nose has layered dark plum and black cherry that is given a savoury edge by sage and earth with a subtle liquorice note.
A big, bold and brooding wine that is built for the long term. The palate is awash with concentrated plum that is met in equal measure by fine, drying tannins that combine with dark chocolate. Oak plays a supporting role by giving a svelte and understated richness that is a great contrast to the wines more exuberant notes. An enjoyable wine now, but you can cellar this with confidence over the medium to long term.
