Tasting Notes: Bright cherry red in colour with hints of garnet, this wine has intense aromas of red fruit, toast and oak. Perfectly balanced with a mixture of red and black fruit on the palate, notes of vanilla and sweet spices. Satisfying toasty notes and pleasant tannins lead to a lovely finish.
