A most spectacular showcase of power and finesse. The color is decadently rich but piercingly vibrant in hue. Aromas abound assault the senses with juicy blackberry, dark plum and fragrant blueberry all combining neatly. It is however the savoury overlay that elevates this wine to sublime status. Delicate nuances of dried herb weave throughout - first sage, then rosemary, but wait there's lavender, and sage is back...wow. The palate unveils all of the promise of the nose but with amplified depth and concentration. Decadently pillowy texture suggests expert handling of the greatest skill and lays the assurance of potential ahead. Tannins unfurl languidly as a gentle punctuation to a thoroughly complete wine. Few wines offer this deft balance of power and restraint with such a sublime core of fruit.

The colour is striking an opaque dark purple, the nose is earthy maybe masking the fruit the lurches within. The first mouthful reveals the silky feel, the balanced fruit and the lingering palate. All together as a beautifully crafted wine
