Tasting Notes
A very rich and complex wine, dark red in color. Flavors
of ripe plum and vanillin lead off the nose with hints
of spice, mocha and black fruits in the mouth. The well-rounded
tannins make the expansive mouth feel soft yet structured.
A big, lingering finish completes this gorgeous wine.
