Lovely, ripe, succulent dark fruit is centre stage. Tantalizingly tangy with bright, freshening acidity and highlighting regional notes of licorice, chocolate and smoked smallgoods. Superfine tannins provide the silky texture, and oak hardly plays a role in this delicious and generously fruited classic blend.
