Sweetness Descriptor: D - Dry

Tasting Note
This is certainly an intensely structured wine, but its name seems rather excessive for what are balanced fruit and juicy tannins. It has a smooth, minty character, bold berry fruits and a ripe full texture. The tannins and acidity will allow the wine to age further well into 2019, although it can be drunk now. Score - 90

An elegant blend of four grape varieties create a silky red that pours a deep ruby colour and offers aromas of black cherry, tobacco, and vanilla. The palate is well balanced and medium weight with a flavourful mix of sweet Cassis, earth, leather, and tart cherry followed by a medium length, lightly spiced, finish.
