 Tasting Notes

Deep, almost opaque colour with aromas of black cherries, plums, violets, and dark chocolate. On the palate, full-bodied and powerful, showing layers of ripe black fruit, spice, and firm yet velvety tannins. The finish is long, elegant, and beautifully structured.

This magnum offers superb ageing potential and will continue to develop gracefully for decades.
