Tasting notes
Medium-deep red. Raspberry, cherry and a whiff of mint on the nose. Rich, chewy and superripe but not roasted. Very densely packed, creamy wine, finishing with a chocolatey flavor and ripe tannins. This will never be accused of being elegant, but it's fat and satisfying.

Bright ruby-red. Subdued but pure aromas of blacker fruits and licorice, with a subtle component of fresh herbs. Dense, fat and sweet, with very rich but fresh flavors of black cherry and chocolate. Broad and sexy wine, finishing with big, chewy tannins.
