Tasting notes from the sommelier

“Deep, intense dark violet color. Complex aromas of dark forest fruits, blackberry, spices, caramel, and coffee. Rich, dense taste with an elegant tannin structure. Tight wine with an excellent balance between sweetness and freshness. Ready to drink now, but also has aging potential.”
