Tasting Note

Brilliant ruby red in colour. On the nose, there is an incredible bouquet of purple flowers, raspberries and redcurrants, which interlace with hints of rose, rhubarb, toffee apple and incense. As the wine opens, layers of marasca cherries, white truffle, lavender and anise fill the nose. Expressive yet balanced on the palate, red fruit flavours, subtle minerality and refined tannins carry through onto the long finish.
