tasting notes

This multi-tiered wine boasts layers of complexity that evolve as the wine slowly decants. An intial burst of black licorice accented by intensely perfumed posies. A second, deeper layer combines a kirsch component of sandalwood, nutmeg, and candied citrus notes. Harmonius flavors of cherry, cassis, and choclate frame a classic structure of acidity and focused tannin. [ download pdf ]
