Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Sweetly fruited and perfumed, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, raspberry, violet and toasted nut aromas with a hint of dried herb complexity. It's succulent and supple on the palate, delivering excellent fruit purity together with silky texture and fine grainy tannins, finishing wonderfully long and attractive. At its best: now to 2032.
