The tasting
Appearance: deep purple colour with violet highlights
Aroma: a nose revealing notes of dark fruit, jam, ‘pigeon heart’ cherry flesh, kirsch, liquorice and spice
Palate: a full, generous palate with firm, dense and velvety tannins
Ageing potential: up to 15 years. In its youth, this wine offers all the freshness and exuberance of fruit and powerful tannins. With age, it will mellow, developing softer tannins and aromas of leather, undergrowth and liquorice. If you have the patience, this wine can easily be kept for 10 to 15 years
