Brilliant cherry red with a smooth, supple nose of red fruit like cherry and strawberry, leading to notes of tobacco and laurel leaf. It is deliciously smooth and generous in the mouth with supple, melting tannins, aromas of raspberry and fresh grapes but also nutmeg and black pepper. A superb, supremely fruity Merlot with perfect balance and good tension.
