Red and black currants, cocoa powder, plum skin and dark spices. Swirling brings up plum puree, dehydrated strawberries and a hint of sweet lightly toasted vanilla bean. The palate is round and plush with good mid palate sweetness and good acidity. A complex and generous mixture of smoldering red berries and silky tannins carry the finish. An absolutely delicious entry into our Bordeaux reds.
