Blackcurrant, black plum, exotic wood and potpourri blend with lavender and Bing cherries on the nose. Forest herbs and wild flowers open up with a spin in glass to create a very inviting, lovely mix of aromas.
Supple, smooth, and refined, this is a deeply silky, beautiful wine on the palate. Notes of lavender and black raspberry appear, moving into spiced plum preserves and fruitcake tones. Licorice and kitchen spices combine on the finish, leaving a lasting impression. The tannins of this wine are incredibly subtle, but gripping, and the body is full and yet still very refined. This is a beautiful wine and worth buying.
