Tasting Notes
The wine exhibits an exotic mix of ripe dark berries, vanilla, chocolate, coffee and wild violets.
18 months in quality French and American oak has added attractive sweet and spicy aromas to a palate that is packed full of ripe fruit concentration. The tannins are robust and the length more than generous!
