Very deep purple-black in color, itprances out of the glass with flamboyant, showy scents of cinnamonstick, wilted roses, star anise, fallen leaves and Ceylon tea witha core of blackcurrant cordial, black cherry compote, violets,chocolate mint and espresso plus a waft of crushed rocks.Full-bodied, opulent and decadently fruited with layer upon layerof black/blue fruit and floral nuances, it has an exquisitely ripe,fine-grained frame and fantastic freshness supporting themultifaceted, beguiling fruit, finishing with tons of fragrantflowers and mineral sparks. At once beautifully elegant andwonderfully bold. About 7,000 cases of the grand vin will beproduced, really focusing on the area around the estate.
