Tasting Notes
The first impression is almost numbing when initially all one can sense on the nose is alcohol, then subtle nuances of forest floor, chocolate, and pickled fruits emerge. It is very much a "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" wine because it tastes shockingly youthful, and makes an impression with robustly grainy tannins.
