MORE INFORMATION:
Appearance: The wine has a dark, rich, plummy colour going over
to a lively ruby red rim.
Bouquet: The nose is a complex combination of white pepper,
cigar box, mint and a concentration of dark fruit
supported by subtle spicy undertones.
Palate: The complexity on the nose flows over to the palate.
The wine is big and round on entry with smooth and silky
tannins that show well even though the wine is still young.
Nice fruit on the back palate combined with a well-
balanced acidity is responsible for a lingering finish and
rounds off a perfectly balanced wine.
