Wine Description
Bright dark purple-red. Red and black berry fruits, oriental spices, leather and tobacco characterise the many-faceted aroma. The assertive tannins give the wine a dense structure and are velvety in the young wine. The potential for development is already apparent and the persistent fruit in the finish most promising.
