Closure: Cork

One of the early releases of 2003 reds from Rosemount, however the tannins are firmer than those from previous vintages, making the wine slightly less appealing to the instant quaffing set.

Deep crimson mauve colour with crimson mauve hue. Lifted nose of spice, plum and liquorice followed by end notes of raspberry and cherry. On the palate, flavours of cherry, liquorice and spice are followed by quite dry tannins – too dry for the style, creating a funny palate sensation. Aftertaste of cherry and liquorice.
