Tasting notes
The 2018 Red Blend TD-9 displays a medium to deep garnet-purple colour and expressive notes of blueberry compote, mulberries, and plum preserves plus nuances of potpourri, dried Provence herbs and tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a lively backbone creating great tension with the ripe, plummy flavours and rounded tannins, finishing with an enticing herbal lift.
