A pristine bottle, and the wine exceeded all expectations. Notes of violet, lavender and dark berries, somehow both earthy and elegant at the same time. Outstanding showing.

The appearance of ripe red plums this is an elegant wine with an ample body. Floral aromas with spices and fruits arouses the senses. Flavours of red cherries, blackberries, blueberries, tobacco and French oak are complimentary to the palate. The finish is dry and persistent. Best drinking to 2025. A 'Great Value' rating of +1.6 'Worth Buying' see more at; http://bit.ly/1upJZRO

Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of blueberries, currants, pepper, black berries and a hint of Briar patch. Flavors of currants, black raspberries, black cherries, black berries and pepper. Medium to bright acidity, firm tannins, full bodied. Drink now with some air or somewhere in the 2-5+/- year range.
