Gorgeous, supple, dark purple, fully ripened fruit. So succulent it will dribble down your chin. Wonderfull depth of plummy, boysenberry laden fruit flavours. Not complicated, just a very attractive glass of wine. It gets an extra point for value

Opulent and generous, it's gorgeously perfumed on the nose showing dark fruit richness with dark chocolate, cedar, anise and violet aromas, leading to a concentrated palate that's dense and wonderfully textured. It's plush and persistent with layers of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2031.
