Nose:
The nose is open. Red berry and black fruits share centre-stage. The oak, though present, melts into the background and enhances the fruit aromatics.

Palate:
The entry on the palate is clean, and there is good concentration. The mild-palate has volume, and the tannins are smooth. The whole bursts with fruit flavor right up till the finish, which is very long and spicy.

Grape Variety: 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
ABV: 13%
Vol: 750ml
