Colour: dark, shiny cherry red Fragrance: dense, fruity bouquet of ripe dark forest berries (blackberries, elderberries, black currants) finely underlaid with subtle hints of sweet raspberries, fresh figs and spices Taste: juicy and powerful on the palate with lots of plump, sweet berries (again blackberries, elderberries, blackberry jam, crème de cassis), velvety soft mature tannins and good acidity, very harmonious with a wonderful balance of aromatic fullness, fine sweetness and freshness, fruity and slightly spicy in the finish with a hint of liquorice
