Organoleptic Notes
Ruby red color not too intense
Rose petal, wild herb, red berry and pipe tobacco aromas are front and center on this fragrant, elegantly structured wine
The smooth, linear palate delivers raspberry compote, pomegranate, cinnamon and white pepper alongside a backbone of taut but refined tannins and fresh acidity
