Tasting Notes
Opulent and perfumed with cherry and raspberry notes with supporting minerality. A finely structured palate supported by persistent acidity and tannin. This wine shows the richness and depth of the 2006 vintage. It has a good linear palate and wine is supported with subtle oak. An elegant wine which is both approachable when young and showing potential for further improvement with age.
