Tasting Notes
"Proper meaty and rich stuff, and quite dry actually. The wine maturation shines through, giving it a hint of gunpowder, but also coffee beans, orange zest and subtle floral notes. The palate is thick and oily, and as dry as the nose already suggests. There's room for dark chocolate, cinnamon and nutty flavors. Highly enjoyable, fairly complex and decently balanced."
