About

The wine has a brilliant colour – deep, dark and intense. Aromas of concentrated creamy mulberry and red cherry fruit flavours greet you on the nose along with subtle hints of cigar box. The pallet is dense, structured and supported by a smooth elegance and flavours of mulberry, dark chocolate and juicy dark berry fruit that will linger.
