Tasting Notes: Candied and wonderfully plump on the nose, dried and gummy red fruits piled together with an almost confected generosity that feels lush and completely indulgent. The palate builds with a beautiful tannin crescendo that gathers momentum and presence without ever losing its plush and velvety composure.
