Tasting Note

The wine is intense and complex on the nose, with aromas of ripe black fruit and creamy notes reinforced by the barrel toast. Spice and earthy nuances mix with liquorice notes. This is a powerful wine and would match really well to slow roasted lamb shoulder.

This wine also comes packaged in wooden branded boxes making a purchase of 6 bottles a great gift idea.
