Description
A cabernet, merlot blend from the Veneto region of Italy. made in a similar style to Right bank Bordeauxs.
Appearance
Deep ruby, shading towards garnet with age. Good viscosity in the glass.
Nose
Expressive and layered. Ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum form the core, followed by cedarwood, tobacco leaf and a touch of graphite. With air, dried herbs and a faint balsamic nuance emerge.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied. Structured and classically styled. Firm but refined tannins support flavours of cassis, black cherry and blackberry. Oak influence shows as vanilla, spice and a light toastiness, but remains well integrated.
Acidity
Fresh and balancing — giving lift and preventing heaviness.
Finish
Long, dry and savoury, with lingering dark fruit, leather and cedar.
Condition
