tasting notes

With a perfumed nose that swirls with cassis, white pepper, and layers of jasmine, the aromas gradually evolve into spicier elements like cardamom, sage, and oolong tea. A delicate entry of sweet fruit is framed by soft mounting tannins and a lingering acidity that decries a fuller palate than perhaps suggested by the nose. Plums, violets, rose water and more cassis are all evident in the mouth, while fine tannins with just a hint of dryness intertwine with the bright finish to leave the mouth both sated and demanding more.
