It offers notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, liquorice and coffee.
Tasting Note
Notes of ripe blackcurrant, raspberry fruit and spicy hints of liquorice and coffee. Rich with powerful yet balanced tannins and great length. While this wine will benefit from extra bottle age, it's drinking beautifully now.
