Deep dark red with purple hues. The nose has real depth, almost brooding, with dark plums and blackberry perfectly integrated with the more elegant characters of black pepper and aniseed. A hint of spicy oak sits in the background. This wine is full bodied with mouth filling plum and mulberry fruit, beautifully structured with layers of fine tannin and complementary characters of licorice, ironstone and cocoa. A wonderful vintage that is destined to be very special in time.
Deepish red colour with a trace of purple, the bouquet is earthy, herbal and plummy, fruit-driven and very typical of the region. The wine is soft and medium to full-bodied, rounded and gentle notwithstanding abundant tannins, which are supple and ripe. It's quite aromatic, and the tannins have been sensitively managed. It drinks well already and will also take some age well.04 OCT 2017 drink 2017–2030
