Tasting Notes
Exotic aromas of wild strawberry and dark cherry with hints of forest floor and bay leaf. A seamless and elegant palate of fleshy red fruit with hints of violet and spice. Delicate tannins are framed by generous length and drive. An outstanding accompaniment to a duck or game dishes, with a side of wild mushrooms. Drinking beautifully now but will
continue to evolve with careful cellaring.
