At first purple fruit pastilles dominate the nose but then the scent of slightly dusty dried rose petals come to the fore with glimpses of ripe raspberry sweets. The palate is smooth and rounded with a combination of purple and red berry fruits and tinges of cinnamon. The finish is all mocha chocolate delivered by lingering tannins. Spiced dark chocolate, berries and herbal notes. Creamy smooth tannins complement this well balanced wine.
