Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with ruby-tinged mahogany and copper highlights.
Nose
Ripe Merlot-soaked fruit lifts from the glass—blackberry, plum and cherry mingle with velvet sweetness. Spiced warmth—cinnamon and clove—with a whisper of vanilla drifts over a creamy, grain-forward backbone, while subtle oak lends polish. A fruit-forward, luxurious perfume that promises richness to come.
Palate
Silky, creamy texture with generous weight. Ripe red fruits—plum, blackberry, cherry—are lifted by Merlot cask influence, unfolding into warm spice: cinnamon and clove, with a touch of cocoa. Velvet tannins and a subtle malt sweetness weave through the palate, delivering a polished, lingering finish of fruit, vanilla and soft warmth.
Finish
Long and velvet, this finish keeps Merlot-driven fruit and spice alight—ripe plum and blackberry echoing through the creamy grain, before a refined oak, cocoa and subtle tannic warmth linger.
