A magnificent expression; the opulent bouquet shows blackberry, plum jam, dark cocoa, cake spice and cedar characters with nuances of tapenade and game. The palate exhibits outstanding concentration and depth, delivering layers of delicious flavours together with lavish texture and plush mouthfeel, superbly framed by velvety tannins. The wine is powerfully graceful with a seamless flow to an impressively long engaging finish.
