Ta' Betta Philippe Villiers 2017

Inspired by Philippe Villiers de l’Isle Adam, the French Grand Master warrior-knight who took over Malta in 1530 after the loss of Rhodes to the Ottoman Empire.

This robust blend with vibrant ruby colour typically conveys forest-fruit on the nose with undertones of tobacco, black and bell pepper, graphite and leather. The palate has polished tannins and gently creamy development, with a clear fruit core and notable drive, the tannins slightly drying on the finish.
