Bright ruby red |
| Aroma: |
Fragrant red berry fruit, forest floor complexity and classy French oak aromas |
| Flavour: |
A generous mouthful of ripe dark plum
complemented by forest flavours of mint leaves, mushroom and cedary oak.
The richness and even palate structure of this blended red is created
by abundant and integrated fine grain tannins, resulting in a persistent
finish characterised by lingering choc-mint flavours. |
