Deep ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose.
An easy juicy full body red and a best buy at the clearance price
Positives: This wine shows cedar, blackcurrants, anise, dark cherry, cigar box, menthol, plums and arugula. Full body with medium tannins, good acidity, a long length and the 14.5% alcohol is well integrated.
Negatives: None
Drink now or over the next 2 years on its own or pair it with vegetable lasagna.
