Oak:
The wine was barrel matured for ten months in 228L French barriques (approx 40% new and 60% one to three-year-old).
Colour:
Attractive colour - dark.
Nose:
Youll discover a rich, robust and complex wine showing bold, ripe dark fruit and cherry characters, with a distinctive nose of plums and cherries deliciously supported by hints of spice, coffee and a touch of violet.
Palate:
Powerful dark fruit flavours are nicely balanced with smoky oak, mushroom and savoury notes on the palate. Well-integrated tannins and good structure support a brambly texture, which is not excessively weighty, but finely balanced.
