Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

It’s sweetly fruited and fabulously expressed on the nose showing blackberry, sweet cherry, warm spice and cedar characters. The palate is equally gratifying with excellent weight and plush mouthfeel wonderfully complemented by silky texture and rounded tannins, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2028.
