Beskrivelse
Tasting Notes
Sweet spice freshly picked red plums, black cherries and cola are supported by aromatic toasted coconut and milk chocolate from the youthful oak.
The bright cored palate of the 2012 shows more elegance and freshness, but retains the characteristic fine grained, polished tannin structure that is accessible and mouth-watering now, but will also develop further complexity with bottle age.
