Tasting Notes
Still incredibly youthful dark cassis and red berry fruit, earthy, gravelly notes, hints of dark chocolate and bay leaf adding a savoury element to the wine. Balanced, rich and with extraordinary length, the wine is supported by fine grained, layered tannins and seamlessly integrated French oak.
