Tasting Notes
Light carmine garnet with fine ruby reflections, broad watery rim. Delicate caramel sweetness underlaid with leaves on the nose, delicate hints of dried plums, smoky notes, damp wool, damp earth with air, mint and cedar wood. Medium texture on the palate, silky, soft tannins, somewhat melting style, has charm, becomes finer and sweeter with time, slender, quite fresh with a red berry finish.
