Product details
Deep colour holds well to a ruby-red rim. Aromas are initially closed with notes of cedar & meat dominating the fruit. On the palate coffee & cedar notes overlay blackcurrant & bitter liquorice flavours. The wine opens, displaying a lovely balanced structure with good acidity & warming alcohol. The wine shows a leafy & gamey complexity over coffee & liquorice on an enduring finish.
