"Impressive nose of ripe red fruit, leather, red pepper and tobacco right from the start. All backed with aromatic sweet spices, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and subtle notes of sun-dried tomato and olive paste. Rounded tannins combined with balanced, refined acidity. Spicy fruit on the palate. Lingering peppery finish."
