Tasting Notes
The palate has fantastic elegance and depth, revealing loads of subtle floral, black fruit and earthy layers. This wine is elegant and complex with a supple, creamy texture and bold tannins, the 2012 vintage offers luscious ripe plum and blackberry character with hints of roasted coffee and dark cherry throughout the palate to a long, velvety finish. Lovely density and intensity with dark berries, blueberries and inky undertones with hints of spice, chocolate and walnuts. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a flavorful finish. The texture and length are fantastic here. Complex. Hints of smoky wood at the end. 100% new French oak barrels.
