Idiom Imperium Black Gold

R264.00

A powerful and concentrated expression made from Merlot grapes lightly raisined on the vine following a violent hailstorm before harvest. Flavours of intense blackcurrants and rich berries with the softest tannins. A tour de force. A small but mighty 375ml bottle.
