Nose
A lovely dark-fruit character. Features plum preserves, black cherries and blueberry scents with pencil shavings, smoked meats and tar hints.
Palate
Fresh but very ripe. Expresses elegance and purity of fruit.
The palate reveals plenty of black fruit and savoury nuances with plush texture and oodles of freshness, finishing earthy.
Growing Conditions
