Description
A full-bodied wine robust with bramble fruits and has a good depth of flavour but its tannins and alcohol content will not be overly intense.
The main fruit flavours are blackberry, plum, and black cherry. The nuanced flavours offer milk chocolate, cocoa powder, violet flowers, leather, and, depending on the amount of oak-aging, then it has a sweet tobacco finish.
Serves at 14-16C
