Of a dark red colour, the nose is rich and complex with ripe berries, such as blueberries, raspberries and blackcurrants, laced with subtle vainilla, leather and tobacco. 19 months Taransaud barrel-aging conferred delicate smoke and wood flavors adding complexity to this full-bodied, concentrated wine.
