Tasting Notes

• Sustained and strong dark red colour, with hints of black
• An undergrowth smell, its aromas yet to fully mature
• Swirling the glass releases the smell of alcoholic fruits, pungent mint and pale tobacco to awaken the taste buds
• The taste of the wine is fresh and fruity, its choice tannins underlining grilled almonds and vanilla, leaving the taste to linger
• A very interesting wine for its year
