## Tasting notes

Deep, brilliant, transparent garnet red. Complex, layered nose of dried rose petals, cinnamon, black pepper, black tea and ripe red fruit with leather, liquorice, tobacco, undergrowth and a fresh balsamic note. Broad, austere and upright on the palate, with smooth but firm tannins and lively acidity; savoury, spicy, earthy finish.
