| Tasting Notes | |
| Visual | Nice intense red colour. |
| Olfactory | Very complex nose, which shows the power of “syrah” grape variety. Aromas of undergrowth and crystallized red fruits and leather. |
| Gustative | Tasting advice: This wine needs aeration and should be opened as soon as possible. Best when “carrafed”.
Full mouth, powerful structure. Nice length and finish. |
