Nose: Warm plum and raspberry compote notes gliding through, lined with black tea and incense accents that blossom and linger on the finish.
Palate: Fruit entry, dark red fruit, hints of tea leaf mid-palate, savoury with notes of dried herbs such as thyme.
Finish: Lingering black tea leaf note. Very elegant with a fine powdery tannin.
