Tasting Note

A deep ruby-red colour, the predominant aromas are of ripe red and black fruit, such as strawberry, cherry and cassis, with subtle hints of mint and candy. The 18 months' ageing in French barrels adds notes of tobacco and toast that are well-balanced and the palate is beautifully balanced and silky, with a long-lasting finish.
