Acolon
This wine is characterised by its intense dark red colour. Aromas of red fruits, black cherry, chocolate, peppers, blackberries and blackcurrant and a strong spiciness are a treat for the nose and swirling the wine immediately evokes a moreish feeling. The wood ageing gives a pleasing finish to this complex wine in typical Bordeaux style.
