                                                        very dark Bordeaux-red with purple tints.

                                                        very expressive with aromas of ripe wild fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) and light oaky aromas (cocoa, vanilla).
                                                    
                                                
                                            
                                                    
                                                        
                                                            Palate:
                                                        
                                                    
                                                    
                                                        very round on entry with a lovely rich character, silky tannins and good concentration. The subtly oaky finish reveals fruity and spicy aromas.
