Extraordinary dark cherry red colour with great depth. Intense floral (violet) and fruit (cassis) aroma with exquisite Mediterranean garrigue (thyme) coming through, joined by notes of smoke and spices (cocoa). Full and intense on the palate, with ripe, velvety, wonderfully elegant tannins. An exceptional wine, flavourful and full bodied, with a characteristic, terroir-imparted hint of minerality (graphite).
