Tasting Notes
A deep ruby red wine with a vivid purple rim, this wine opens with rich aromatics of pomegranate, boysenberry, and black cherry, layered with hints of baking spice, fresh pastry, and a distinctive peppery teakwood character. The palate is luxuriously textured, showing silky tannins and a focused structure. Flavours of luscious black raspberry and ripe cherry are accented by lingering espresso notes and a hint of dark cocoa, creating a bold yet polished finish.
