Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An exotic array of baking spices, clove, five spice and spearmint are countered with kirsch and baked cherry notes in this deep and brooding nose. Across the intense, richly textured palate pronounced dark red fruit, forest floor and mushroom characteristics lead on to a long, complex finish. Firm, tightly wound tannins and mouth watering acidity ensure this wine has great cellaring potential.
