Classic! Tobacco, mint, firm tannins - subdued cassis & black olive. A real treat.

Dark fruits with cassis. Strong persistent finish. Showing plenty of finesse and body at the same time.

Beautifully balanced wine with an eternal finish at least partially compensated the pretentious snob factor at the winery.
