An intense deep red in colour, almost black to the rim, on the nose this wine displays an abundance of ripe dark fruit flavours on the nose of black cherries, plums and blackcurrants which also reflects the warm growing conditions of the summer in 2016. On the palate, it further shows the same attractive register of luscious juicy fruits that combine perfectly with the well-balanced use of French oak, adding hints of cigar box and cinnamon spice. Overall this leads to a fine and firm tannin structure that promises a wine with great ageing potential.
