Tasting Note :

Rich dark red in color with crimson hue.
Red to dark currant, vanilla, ripe capsicum, toast, coffee & pencil shaving notes on the nose. Sign of herbal, dried leafs from the harvest condition, but it did not overwhelm the wine, rather adds on as freshness tune. The oak plays an important role as underpin for the wine for this vintage.
The generous palate texture of well coated and concentrated tannin, while with obvious density and sweetness from the fruits.
Persistent & lengthy finish.
