The bouquet is subdued and graceful

Once again there is a plethora of floral elements adding a touch of elegance to the baked dark berry fruit and earth-scented nose

There is a little heat on the palate that sticks out through the fruit

There is excellent volume and energy to the big-bodied

Drink now through 2027
