Epicurius
An unusual blend of Malbec and Petit Verdot that is deep reddish-purple in colour and bursting with aromas of small red fruit and spices such as white pepper, cinnamon and thyme. In the mouth it is supple, round and fruity with a superbly balanced finish. Its power underpinned by the elegance of fine tannins culminates in a crescendo of pomegranate, liquorice, violet and grilled notes. Once again this year Epicurious is a surprise reserved for the curious in pursuit of the luscious.
