Tasting notes

Medium dark ruby with some amber at the edge, this spicy, earthy, sweet, jammy-scented wine is still drinking well, although it has been fully mature for 10-12 years. The wine exhibits medium to full body, exuberant, rich, berry fruitiness, and attractive floral notes. Pepper, spice, and drying tannin are noticeable in the finish.
