Pronounced aromas of dark fruit, goudron, forest undergrowth and cloves on the nose. Ample fruit and spice flavours fill the palate with imposing fine tannins which provide length and an elegant finish. The clay portion of the soil is responsible for the robust structure while the clay patches provide for the freshness and balance of aromas.
