	Tasting Notes This wine has an intense ruby-red colour, and a full-bodied aroma taking in morello cherry, mulberry, black currant, chocolate and leading to a meaty palate. Powerful yet restrained with excellent length, the palate gives way to a mountain of herbs and liquorice on the finish. 14%vol
