Description

„Aged for 12 months in oak, the Cabernet-Merlot blend has a pronounced nose of smoked plum, dark cherry with woody notes of cigar box and dried tea leaves. Some dried fruit characters suggest development. Robust but ripe tannins support a warm, concentrated core of ripe darkfruits. Herbal notes of cedar and blackcurrant leaf plus a decent level of freshnessprovide balance, followedby a warm, white pepper-like finish.” Sylvia Wu, Editor,DecanterChina.com&Regional Editor – Asia and Northern & Eastern Europe
