Specifications

An intense, brilliant ruby colour with hints of ageing.

A fine bouquet of medium intensity revealing a fruity tertiary bouquet blending notes of blackcurrant and liquorice, rubber and dried mint. The bouquet is unique, with personality.

The attack on the palate is bold and full-bodied. A generous mouthfeel in the mid-palate; fleshy, with a rather discreet acidity. Well-integrated tannins of medium intensity make this 2012 perfect for drinking immediately.
