  This wine is made of relatively late harvested Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that had a quite reasonable 26 brix at harvest. The fermentation was stopped by adding some 5 years-old Carmel brandy and spent a bit more than a year in oak. On the nose this wine features some cherry liqueur, sweet licorice and wood and differentiates itself on the palate as a "Port" by the absence of dried fruits notes instead of which take place sweet fleshy fresh fruits such as plums and blackberries with very good acid, notes of black coffee and milk chocolate, sweet cherries and almonds lingering on the endless finish. Absolutely delicious!
