Garnet red colour gives rise to an expectation of concentration and power. The colour and bouquet speak volumes about the palate, the bouquet is pure opulence expressing the intensity and inky density of the wine. The palate unleashes dense, rich, dark chocolate and a powerful array of dark blackberry fruits flavours. "Deep, smoky, oak-accented dark berry and cherry liqueur aromas are complemented by mocha and dried flowers. Sweet dark fruit flavors are overlaid by powerful oak spice, with supple tannins adding structure!" -Stephen Tanzer's, "Dark and dense, but not heavy, with ripe blueberry and cherry flavors among the cream and spice notes that mingle on the polished finish!" -Winespectator.com
