Lifted aromas of spicy plums, cherries and blackberries, these fruits carry through to the palate with fine tannins and cedary, cigar box flavours on a savoury finish. This full bodied, structured, dry red wine makes an excellent companion with food. It is ready to drink now but will continue to nicely evolve over the next couple of years.
