Viu 1 – Fifth Edition 2005
February 2016Tasting Notes
So intensely violet in colour it appears almost opaque in the glass. On the nose heady notes of blackcurrant and plum mix with mocha and just a hint of sweet spice. In the mouth rich chocolate and blueberry flavours kick off a very hedonistic flavour profile finishing with ample black cherry, leather and truffle. Voluptuous tannins combine effortlessly with a fresh acidity and abundant mineral notes leading to an elegant, layered finish.
