Tasting Notes:

  • Colour: Deep red with youthful violet hues.
  • Aromas: A complex nose of mulberry, pepper, spicy vanillin oak, and lifted floral notes.
  • Palate: A ripe combination of blackberry and plums, with spicy aniseed and black cherry on the mid-palate. The finish is long and smooth, with hints of mocha and fine tannins.
  • Finish: Lingering mocha and tannin-driven elegance.

Technical Terms Explained:

  • Mulberry & Blackberry: These are dark, sweet berries that give the wine its rich fruit profile. Mulberry tends to add a deep sweetness, while blackberry brings a bit of tartness.
  • Spicy Vanillin Oak: Vanillin is a compound found in oak that adds a sweet, vanilla-like aroma. The spice comes from the wood, contributing a warm, comforting flavour.
  • Aniseed: A flavour reminiscent of licorice, providing a subtle spice and sweetness in the wine.
  • Mocha: The flavour of coffee and chocolate combined, often coming from oak aging, adding richness and depth to the finish.
  • Tannins: These are natural compounds found in grape skins, seeds, and stems that give the wine structure. Fine tannins feel smooth and not too harsh on the palate.
