Wine Characteristics

Tasting Notes

Well-balanced and full-bodied with an intense blackcurrant aroma and classic Cabernet structure. Starts with firm tannins that smooth to a velvety finish with ageing — a long-lived red that rewards patience. Best after 2–3 months in the bottle, though enjoyable from the first pour.
