Sans Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Perfumed top note of dried apricot, followed by violet, spice, blackberry and liquorice. On the palate flavours of dried apricot are dominant, followed by spice and liquorice. Fine grained tannins – dryish, but balanced. The structure of this wine is more elegant than that of previous years, however this reflects the vintage. Aftertaste of spice, liquorice, apricot and plum, over a lightly toasted oak background. Cellar 3-4 years (2009-2010) Alc/Vol: 15%
