Tasting Notes

Gorgeous aromas of prune, raisin, coffee and wild herb emerge as soon as the cork is pulled, while in time, complex layers of undergrowth, chocolate and damp earth sprout forth. On the palate this is rich and powerful; warm alcohol and ripe helpings of black fruit dominate while the finish is smooth and polished, almost responsibly hedonistic.
