Tasting Notes

Ruby-red. Explosively perfumed, room-filling bouquet of raspberry, cherry and blackberry accompanied by exotic Asian spices and incense; you could wear this to seduce wine geeks. Deeply concentrated dark fruit flavors deliver remarkable purity, with notes of espresso and violet pastille adding complexity. A wine with no excess fat, this finishes with a chewy texture and outstanding focus and persistence.
