 A complex and layered wine, sweet and savoury all at once: the fragrance is a melting pot of violets, plums, savoury spices with a whiff of bramble. Moderate in weight, the plum fruits come in all colours heightening the flavour interest. Cigar box and cardamom spice lend intrigue. Firm yet fine tannins ably support the fruit, and texture drives the palate. This one is hard to put in a box. There is so much to love.
