Ageing potential
5 to 10 years
Tasting
Deep, brilliant ruby colour.
A delicate, gentle blend of red fruit and mocha coffee, with the air bringing out the complexity of black fruit, cocoa and spices.
The perfectly ripe grapes give a supple, smooth attack, with a very long, fresh, roasted and elegant finish.
